Now can we turn the heat down please?

Now it's getting ridiculous. Riding through Southport and Surfers today, I got a first hand look at just how the heat seems to be affecting the brains of the population of this place. Cars lined up five-wide on a two lane road, people charging through intersections without looking, the air full of humidity and bushfire smoke. All in all not a very good day, and hence I'm here typing this instead of riding.

Then, of course, there are the usual symptoms of living in Queensland generally. We've had two power failures since the new year already. Just how this has happened is beyond me, as there have been no storms or extreme weather conditions. What I would like explained is just how this happens with modern-day technology? I'm guessing the excuse will be the usual one about a heap of air conditioners being turned on at one time, but surely this should be expected in this climate (even at 4.30 am, when the last one took place).

Last one out of the state turn the lights out.
