    ...well, out on the peninsula we got fucking hammered...the only reason my roof stayed on was a direct correlation between the pressure developed between the squeezing of my sphincter and the vacuum it created between there and my wide open mouth. which was stuck in an open position, silently screaming, 'please dont go'...I have seen water tables in our valleys that are normally 150 to 200 mm in depth scoured out a meter deep and perfectly square, macros nearly a meter across snapped off at ground level, water a meter deep in your favourite coffee stop at little river and rapids at the end of my street where it crosses SH75, and flowing over a meter high...yeah it's been fucking big...we only lost a big tree that thankfully didn't smash the house up and only lost the end to my shed and a dozen sheets of iron from the roof...we could have a cold shower this morning while having a dump whether you liked it or not and the power just came back on after leaving town yesterday morning...we got away with it fucking easy compared to many out here...good weather tomorrow yeehaa...big clean up and tons and tons of firewood...(silver linings)...the heroes of the piece out here are the linesmen and electrical boys who went out all night to fix every break and fault and are still going like fuck to restore or refix stuff they only fixed yesterday in 160+ k winds...I salute them...

    So I started my voyage on Sloan Terrace, Cashmere and finished up at the end of the Heathcote River by the Ferry Rd bridge.

    Should have an album here.

    ...cheers Tazz, being an ex local you would know how rugged and unforgiving the peninsula is...right now it is as as calm as a sleeping baby and my sphincter is about the same...

    Do you think that someone's god is trying to tell Christchurch something ??

    Destructive earthquakes, destructive wind, destructive flood ...

    Someone's got it in for the place .. (fire, pestilence, frogs, mad cow disease and blood may well be next)

    I think Ripley has the right idea!
    Ripley: I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    To add further to their misery, Michael Laws is thinking of moving down that way.

    You weren't using that boat on a public road were you???

    On a serious note, I hope the water clears for everyone. Poor buggars have had a fair hammering lately.

    I sure was! But it's not a motor vehicle, and I was wearing a life jacket in accordance to Maritime NZ legislation, so there's fuck all anyone can do.
