Lo & behold, Banksy strikes again.
I hope he continues. Excellent.

Legal Beagle: Johndotbanks - the law is…, in reply to Peter Green,
What does this mean for Key’s “complied with the law” test? Presumably “avoided scrutiny until the time limit expired” passes somewhat under that bar?
Was difficult to fathom in the House yesterday when Trevor did his best to angle a question (supplementary) in about Banks, Key was missing and Foss was trying to avoid answering. But Trevor and Grant Robertson pushed the information out there and the National Party objected to the letter being tabled.
The Herald has this, presumably from Wednesday in the House

Hard News: Keeping our heads on "bath salts", in reply to Russell Brown,
Do you test the nurofen you buy for your sore back? Otoh, does anyone have a test kit that will tell them exactly what’s in their pills and a powders now? No one does. We just have to suck it and see.
Russell, I don't take nurofen, could be bad for my brain.
One day, after telling my doctor that I was a bit weary of taking more drugs for blood pressure maintenance, he replied
" Think of it this way Sofie, you've tried many others, some you probably don't quite know what they were, many illegal, what's one more?"
That sorted that out . I hope it all gets sorted even if it boils down to a Claytons version of drugs for those that want them. But I just hope they decriminalise marijuana.
Yes I await with interest, I'm repeating myself now. (why do I think of The Streets at this moment? ;) -
One mans trash is another mans treasure.
Without a test kit on hand , regulation wont ensure that MDMA is that or is MDA that,
Is that coke , crystal meth or is that speed, ephedrine? Is that speed really now poor mans coke. How can one tell.?
It will have to be made by pharmaceutical companies to ensure accurate manufacture and then we will be back to a black market to allow all peeps interested to partake or we will have to push legislation through to allow doctors to prescribe on the community services card. And lets face it, with methadone legal, we still had illegal homebake as a replacement for the real thing (which just is so far away thus expensive, to get here).So good luck with that as I cannot see us becoming the new Amsterdam.
It is an interesting test case to be seen. I await, really quietly ;)And how about that lil' bit of paper, such a pretty picture, must be LSD, yeah ok :)

... And then I read about the flooding in Beijing.

Capture: Two Tripods, One Night, in reply to Chris Waugh,
Daying can keep its totem poles. We’ve got a rock.And an eagle.
And what are those pyramids to the right of the village photo further up? Interesting photos and fascinating to see the wind energy so close but so insignificant. I’m looking at a wee wind generator and it’s a little annoying sound wise but I suspect higher up, it will be ok.
We were also looking at the dam. I do like the wall of trees albeit window dressing. I guess the reservoir is a stark reminder of the importance of water and in your case (as we struggle here over water rights) who gains and looses from one side to t’other.
As we are getting more involved with solar, we have seen a massive drop in price for panels over a very (relatively for NZ) short time. We have Chinese made panels that are affordable for many that live in remote areas. Do you have much solar in the village?
Oh, are they panels in the Eagle photo? -
Nice.
