Oz,
It’s often been said when I make my trips to Europe that Americans have little knowledge of World Geography. I really couldn’t argue the point with them, even though I felt I did very well in Geography, a few of my friends I knew, did not.
However, this video making the rounds on American television, makes [...]

I must say you make them tough down under.
Each year we look forward to the X-Games in our household, but this year I think your Aussie, Jake Brown, has stolen the attention. I can’t believe he got up and walked away, however stunned, from this 40+ foot fall!

Hi Oz
As you already well know from our conversations and some of my past blogs, I have had my eyes on China. The sheer number of their military and their growing population alone, is enough to give a worry. But really, there are so many things, and some disturbing, going on at once, that [...]

Hi Oz
