@think positive , I suppose it could be worse, the sharks could be on Weed and get a massive dose of the munchies. :shock: :wink:
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

^TP, please keep looking! Green and golden bell frogs would be awesome photography subjects.

I came home from Canada and decided I needed another break and a quick trip to Bali. I read and loved the news that the Hire E Scooters are being removed from the CBD. I love it as they are just dumped everywhere and riding these on the footpath is dangerous. Only addressing part of the problem as those with their own e scooters simply ride them down the footpath anyway.

^You'll have to give us a post-mortem of the trip (unless I've missed a post in another thread).
