I searched unbeliever on the internet and apparently

" and the beast shall come forth surrounded by a roiling cloud of vengence. The house of the unbeliever shall be razed and they shall be scorched to the earth" The Book of Mozilla 12/10

I dont know whether this just applies to Firefox users or that generally unbelievers are going to get toasted but I prefer to suspend my judgement and disbelief on such things.......just in case.


Edit .....and its been blowing 20 kt + at Low Head since 5 am....

I'm up here working at Mt Nelson and Droughty Point isn't working. Is there any wind at Dorans? I can't tell, it looks a bit all over the place on the Derwent and I don't want to waste my work time driving to Dorans early and it turns out to be crap!

This morning it was borderline crap (it was the only time I could go in the next few days), but now the airport is showing 5-8 knots more. I wish I could go!
