Stuck in rural Queensland 27 Dec 201022 Jun 2018 So, here I am, marooned in Warwick, southeast of Brisbane, about one and a half hours drive. Stuck here by this: We missed getting through by half an hour or so. We may be stranded for two days… And no Internet! Administrative Australian stuff
Administrative The Antarctic Grrl 26 Jun 2009 I’m very conflicted about this because I wanted to go to the Antarctic (but not for a month), but GrrlScientist has thrown her fedora into the circus, so I will tell you all to go vote for her to win the “spend a bloggy month in Antarctica” comp.

Administrative YAD (yet another delay) 16 Nov 201716 Nov 2017 So, I have been lax in posting lately. I ate’nt dead. I have been checking the proofs for my book, revising a chapter in a book, and revising a paper on species (or the lack of them as a theoretical category). Also, I’ve been running the AAHPSSS website and helping… Read More
Administrative Travel Diary 3 6 Oct 2009 Here I am in Erlangen, after two whirlwind days with Thony Christie, seeing Albert Speer’s version of the Coliseum, lots of Nurnberg and Erlangen sites, and some originals of Conrad Gesner’s never-completed Historia Plantarum.

My brother-in-law’s stuck on the other side – about 5 km. south of Toowoomba, looking south, heading for Tamworth. Trade bodies?

So you claim to have no internet, all the while having a 3G internet enabled device? I think you’ll have no problems being accepted by the philosophers guild. It’s up there with Plantinga claiming that belief in God is basic, yet belief in Ahura Mazda, Lord Shiva, Wotan, etc is not. 😉
The Bureau of Meteorology says the The Condamine will peak at Midnight. I think you should be able to proceed tomorrow after breakfast. The Condamine does not normally stay up very long at Warwick. Warwick trivium, this is where Billy Hughes had a egg thrown at him when he tried to convince the largely Irish population that it would be a good idea to fight for the King in the Great War.

Yep, that’s what bro-in-law did in reverse (went to Grafton, to come to G.I.) – though I gather the road did open in the early afternoon (from Warwick to Toowoomba). #nottoknow
Deep enough to stop even a large anthropoid ape. That’s deep… (Unless the aquatic ape theory is correct)
