An invertebrate punster - just another prawn in the game of life. An old codger who is seldom right with any political opinions. Loves singing second bass. No DMs please.

Yes Three Waters was the answer - but it’s a shame NZ Inc has to bear a cost that decades of ratepayers should’ve made at least a huge dent in.

Given the growing youth unemployment stats - I’d say that group would like to vote towards a solution that gives them more hope than having to rely on their parents for support.

There seems to be 2 museums and I’m not sure which one we went to. Up on a hill? Santa Fe had/has a market at the Governor’s palace. This was our lovely little “souvenir” from there - a choice inspired by the wonderful Ildefonso pieces at the Millicent Rogers museum in Taos. It’s about 3” dia.
Small Ildefonso Pueblo pottery piece - typical black

Years ago we flew, delayed, into Munich to on fly to Paris. All those for Paris were whisked off, driven by minibus directly across the tarmac to the waiting plane and off we went. Unfortunately our baggage didn’t transfer as well. It caught a later flight and was taxied to us in our Paris hotel.

A sad irony is that they greatly contribute to anthropogenic climate change inducing El Niño droughts and need government handouts to store water to keep the grass growing (>1000litres/litre of milk) to feed their cows to then dehydrate it for exportable milk powder - using large amounts of energy.

The trouble with TOP is that in an election game of fine margins, they only need to prevent 1-2% of centrist voters swinging left to potentially let the coalition of chaos in - again. A loss of 4.9% would be diabolical.
