We are presently keeping an eye on a fire in inaccessible countryside, some 100 or so kilometres from home. Fire personnel say it will burn for weeks…we pitch in, as a farming community with our own loved ones, spending the nights out there with the farm fire fighting units…blanketed again today by the thick smokey haze.

Monkey king??? Plus, I knew the www was invented by an Englishman, just didn't know he was in Switzerland at the time. Still feel George Lazenby was a better James Bond than Connery and Moore.
