No mention of the driest continent in comparison.

Antarctica?

yes, but I was waiting to see who got it wrong, I spent some time there in the late 60's but not many attractions and the locals were not that friendly, the science officers told us to watch out for polar bears, I know but you still looked over your shoulder for a while.

Sorry I ruined it for you Cobber.

Chuckled about the polar bears... but at least drop bears are real. <Look UP! Stay alive!!!>

Oh, man, you stole his thunder!

I've heard New Zealand takes a very dim view when one smuggles drop bears into the country, but they're rather xenophobic about their wild life.

I've always preferred " let's go, we're burning daylight", John Wayne used that line in "The Cowboys", it always stuck with me...

Oh the memory that saying has, "Let's go we're burning daylight." My dad used to say that.

As did mine. I've passed it on to my kids and grandkids.

We'd all enjoy seeing pics of your farming operation!!!

Regional maybe? I have worked in high tech electronics for 34 years(big chip/microprocessor company) and have never heard Xcelite screwdrivers mentioned like that. Have used them a lot, but never heard that reference.

In the electronics industry a "greenie" is a small slot-head screwdriver, so named because Xcelite ones have green handles. The phillips equivalent has a blue handle, so I suppose it could be called a "bluey".

TV repair industry. But that is a dying/dead profession or nearly so.
