Those who live in cities don't get the beautiful clear night skies that we get in the country, pollution and light pollution wiping out 70% of the stars. When my daughter visits she always comments how much more of the night sky she can see

Elon Musk is a scary individual has more money than god, convinced the world that electric cars pollute less, which is a lie, launches (continuing) his his own network of satellites into space without asking the people who own it, blatantly insulted a hero and bought his way out of it, not my favorite person.
Apart from that I have been watching the sky (day&night) for more than half my life ever since my late brother introduced me to wonders that are above us that we know so little about.

It's easy to find Geelong, just look where Victoria's capital should have been...
As my great aunt got old my ah family tried to get her in a home claiming she had dementur or some such thing. Luckily she was able to fend it off, but I pointed out to the SOBs at the time it's not at all surprising she's confused. She was born into a world where horses were more common than cars, refrigerators were scarce and then mainly in commercial establishments. Even telephones and radios were new fangled devices, television hadn't yet been invented. Imagine YOU were dumped 80 years into the future and had to navigate all the changes from what you'd lived with all your life and tackle it all alone...

We live in a free country. We have freedom of choice. You can choose to agree with me, or you can choose to be wrong.
Wait! No one told you your government was a sitcom?

Hahaha.....
I yell at the TV a lot especially if I'm watching American TV.
By the way I was 7 when I first saw a TV and the show that was on was Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men - "Flobabdob!" It was at my friends grandparents house who had one of the first TVs sold in Melbourne. We got our first telly in 1956 so we could watch the Olympic Games. Well my parents and a house full of friends and neighbors did I wasn't really that interested.
Would rather listen to "Hop Harrigan", "Superman" (up, up, and away), "Dad n Dave", "Biggles", "Life With Dexter," "Robin Hood", "Yes What", Laugh Till You Cry with Harry Dearth, George Foster, and Keith (Grandpa) Smith.
I watched some of the Olympics but when the games were over I became a child of the Television. Not sure what I was addicted to the most, TV, my bike, playing with friends, or school.... School. Nah, never addicted to school. Had alove/ hate relationship with school and most of my teachers for all my school life, which somewhat lingers on today. Funnily though both my sons are married to teachers.
Sorry for the trip down memory lane. Can't remember what I had for breakfast but most of those radio shoes came pouring out of my head. Oh yeah.... I know, I had nothing for breakfast.

Robin Hood, Richard Green he was my hero, they are replaying it on channel 44 Adelaide, long with Superman and a few others, they just don't seem to have the same affect on me these days.

Just remembered another kids radio show that I useed to listen to and actually sat in on once as a little tacker. The Childrens Hour on 3KZ. I thought it was called the Magic Faraway Tree but think maybe that it may have been a reading of Enid Blytons book as a part of the show. Either that or the brain'e maybe not quite as sharp as I thought.
Show was hosted by Binnie and Billy Bouncer, who who called the girls "Noshy Nishies", the boys "Binnies Huskies" and Binny "my little noshy nish".
