I wouldn't want to get hit by a wallaby doing that. I wonder what the
large mammals do in these events.

Interesting radial striations over the land. It'll be pretty there next
week or so.

I wish the text machines were able to be improved to stop the shouting.
Maybe when the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" brigade retire? We'd
still be using hot air balloons, not satellites, according to that
dogma.
