Hi everybody. Welcome to the blog where I talk about the past.
I’m gonna dedicate this blog to my friend in Australia. We’re all cooped up inside with our memories, right? Well, I have random memories from Australia. One memory has to do with my friend from Australia. You see, I was obsessed with wind surfing. I went out one day and it was awesome. Well, that day, I also promised my friend I would photograph the birth of her son. Well, she went into labor, and I thought I could get one more run in. That was a mistake. I was late. When I arrived in the delivery room, all of her anger, and tension and pain was directed at me. She yelled, “You’re LATE!” I thought I was gonna collapse. She was just giving birth when I got there. I didn’t even get my camera out. The midwife came to me when I was outside the delivery room and she showed me the placenta. I almost passed out.
I have lots of memories from Australia. One of the most vivid ones is, north of Port Douglas is northern Australia. Well, I basically drove until the road just ended. The road crew was building a new highway through the rain forest. I had a light four wheel drive rigged vehicle. It was great. A good vehicle. It looked like a jeep, but, anyway. I drove pretty much as far as I could. I wanted to check things out. I ended up on top of a ridge and the soil was deep. Up to my axel. It was sad what I saw. So imagine this. I was up on a ridge and then there was a scar in the Earth that went down the ridge into the valley and up another ridge on the other side. It looked like a surgeon did a cut with his scalpel. On the other ridge were the big tractors and machinery. They basically cut right through the rain forest. The earth was a rust color. Progress, right? Right now, it’s probably complete highway. You wouldn’t think twice about driving the 5 kilometers or so.
I’m gonna keep it short and end here. I have lots of things to share, and lots of things I won’t share. LOL.
I’ll talk to you guys next week.
Love, B. Nice
