Melbourne's Citylink tunnels are being fitted with bands of lighting which move along the tunnel at the speed limit in the hope that it will keep drivers at the speed limit. The speed can be remotely controlled to slow down the traffic in the event of a collision or other hazard.

Always wear underwear in public, especially when working under your vehicle. From the local paper comes this story of a Brisbane couple who drove their car to ALDI, only to have their car break down in the car park. The man told his wife to carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car.

The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the car. On closer inspection, she saw a pair of hairy legs protruding from under the chassis.

Unfortunately, although the man was in shorts, his lack of underpants turned his private parts into glaringly public ones. Unable to stand the embarrassment, she dutifully stepped forward and quickly put her hand up his shorts, and tucked everything back into place.

On regaining her feet, she looked across the bonnet and found herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by watching.

The R.A.C.Q. mechanic however, had to have three stitches in his forehead.

They're always on and on about going green - get rid of plastics. We were green before plastic bags.

When I was in high school, my Dad brought home an ex-prisoner and gave him a room in a bungalow attatched to the garage. He taught my siblings and I how to weave baskets like the one below, with a 3-ply wooden base.

How's this for a shot?

Ukraine war: Putin says Russian people 'may not survive'

Vladimir Putin has said that Russian people may not survive in their current state as he claimed the West was trying to "disband" Russia.

The Russian president said the West wanted to divide up Russia and then control the world's biggest producer of raw materials, a step, he said, that could well lead to the destruction of many of the peoples of Russia including the ethnic Russian majority.

Putin's existential framing of the war allows the 70-year-old Kremlin chief to gird the Russian people for a much more deeper conflict while it also allows him much greater freedom in the types of weapons he could one day use.

"They [the West] have one goal: to disband the former Soviet Union and its fundamental part - the Russian Federation," the Russian leader told Rossiya 1 state television in an interview recorded on Wednesday but released on Sunday.

He added: "I do not even know if such an ethnic group as the Russian people will be able to survive in the form in which it exists today."

He said the West's plans had been put to paper, though did not specify where.

This photo on Facebook gave no indication of where or when it was taken, but I thought it interesting.

So that's how they make paper....

My late uncle (by marriage) was a Polish refugee after WWII. Came here to work on a tunneling project to divert water from a dam in the hills to the city. The works camp was near the farm my family had. He married my fathers sister. Common Polish name - Kowalski.

Saw a protest sign a couple of days ago

Put out Putin.
