The mysteries from a restored Rimu coffee table

The client arrived at surgery showing serious distress in the skin department. The team was assembled and the first action that took place was by the Podiatrist who promptly amputated 4 legs.  Then a call was made to our resident Baker - we needed to re-constitute some Oat biscuits! The Baker and Foot-surgeon took the 4 legs away to their own in-house department for further cellular re-construction!

The Dermatologist and Anesthetist as well as the Radiologist determined that a full and complete skin replacement was needed - so swing into action.  After several hours of carefully chipping away at the layers of old dead skin - a Botox specialist was required to *stitch* together several deep-seated tissue traumas! At this point the patient was doing well!! Before the final skin graft would be applied a special sterilizing liquid cleansing solution was applied revealing a deep seated rooting problem.  2 round ring stains were discovered that are only visible once a final skin graft would have been applied.  A meeting was called between all medical staff as well as their lawyers and after several hours of consuming low coffee drinks - urm - several hours of debate - it was decided to call in some overseas expertise - which eventually revealed that the only way to remove the deep-seated flesh-trauma would be a bone deep skin/flesh extraction and as you can never successfully match and  re-seal it, it was decided to leave these 2 beauties for eternity!  It goes begging the question what might have caused this damage!! Suggestions came freely from the imaginative staff -- the husband having a celebratory drink upon learning he was going to be a father??? The teenage girl having her first drink and kiss of her life???  Granny celebrating her granddaughters graduation from Uni?? Santa Claus not being careful where he put the empty cup of hot milk, which was left behind for him at Christmas time??  Sadly ongoing investigations have not revealed any further clues as to how these stains came to be.  It was decided not to take a DNA sample and send off to some foreign lab!  Eventually the final skin graft was applied. 

The legs came back bionically enhanced and were surgically re-attached to the main body (taking care that all the toes point inwards) --- and success - the patient lives yet another day/week/month/decade or century! The successful new owner will have the freedom to spin his own creative story on the two rings and their past history, once the auction has ran its course and the patient has left the Restoration Clinic!!  The staff wish him well on it's future endeavors!

Does the large moat around New Zealand help or hinder us with Covid19

 

 

    We humans - social animals that we are, have many traits similar to other social animals! Sheep roam freely - yet if they are sensing a threat - they bunch up in a tight big circle!

As humans we have done similar through out history. During the settling of the American Wild West - the wagons would be circling ever tighter until they formed a makeshift defensive wall against Mr Nasty out there!

Moreover we have always built defenses that protect our living places - once we stopped from hunter-gatherer to agricultural based living! We have big fences (in early days mostly wooden) that keep Mr Nasty (human or animal) outside, while we wait securely inside for the threat to pass. 

Of course no defensive system is ever completely foolproof and can be overcome. No matter how big or tall or thick a defensive wall one builds, there is always a way around, over or under it!

 

One of the defensive matters cleverly built around medieval times was a moat! Most people did not know how to swim - so a 10 meter wide 5 meter deep water *bath* - possibly filled with flesh-eating *things* (and most certainly unhealthy to your life by just stepping in) was a genius idea at the time! In case of a external threat to your life / town - you simply retreated behind the wall and once all where safely inside you raised the draw-bridge and just waited it out!  There are many many samples of Moats and towns/ castles that can still to be found in Europe!!

The only major flaw in this system is - that occasionally there is a Mr Nasty outside who has determination and patience on its side!  The choice for those safely stashed inside the moat would eventually come down to one of two things - Starve - or give up!

Let me explain! Once safely inside - you can live of your stored food for x nr of days - (simple Math's of x nr of people inside and their daily rations required versus how much is stored away - and no online ordering / delivery of McDonalds - recently so graphically used by the book/film *The Martian* )!   Of course - Mr Nasty outside has a similar issue - can they wait long enough (or have more food resources)!! History will tell you that almost always the outsider has a better chance - samples are Salzburg / Peking / Stalingrad (perhaps) and their sieges which all eventually led to surrender and be conquered! 

Alternatively - a human marooned on a sandbank being stalked by a hungry (and VERY patient) alligator has no chance of escaping alive, unless there is an outside influence!  

Most of the places have just living places - a room to bed down! Thus they were totally dependent on stored food resources.   Even the livestock (if you had any) would need to be fed and watered at some stage! Try that on the gravel path leading forth and back between whatever buildings that were inside the moat.

New Zealand of course is blessed with a  V E R Y  large Moat - being an island in or near the Southern Ocean.  To go by boat (cruise) to Sydney will take approximately 14-16 days - boat speed depending!  Sailboats of course take much longer!! Our *drawbridge* currently are our airports - and they are half up = letting some of the *locals* in but keeping everything and anyone else out! 

The major advantage we have is that there are enough agricultural spaces that we can feed the local population - if only seasonal in some respects (Fruit / Veggies)!  We will not starve!! There will be other things that we will have to leave outside our *moat* - manufacturing products (cars / PC's / furniture etc etc) or they will take much much longer to arrive in! So no yearly upgrade of your Car / TV ! You may have to wait 3-6 month's for delivery! 

Unfortunately our current *Mr Nasty* outside is a Virus (Covid-19) that takes no prisoners and only needs a human host - it does not care about colour / race / age / nationality etc just as long as it can go forth and spread itself far and wide!

So New Zealand will need to make up its mind soon - how long do we keep up our *drawbridge* - live in isolation from the rest of the world (at least we will not starve)  - or do we bite the apple and lower our *drawbridge* and run whatever risk may still be lurking outside!  Either way  - some will get sick and some will die from it! You can count on that happening either way.  Suicides are up / divorcees are up / unemployment no doubt will rise / Cancer patients treatments delayed or cancelled altogether (which will lead to premature deaths no doubt)

So really the only question is - - ??? which is the lesser evil here ??? . .  Unfortunately as a country we cannot have a side by side test comparison - it has to be one or the other! The best we can do is comparing ourselves with the only Nation (Sweden) that has gone down a different path in dealing with this!  

Time will tell - do we have that time???




Have fun!

"800sunnytourist" is redundant during the coronorvirus epedemic!

Well
Just a quick update
With this virus thing knackering all air travel and the tourism industry -
I am redundant!!!  More correctly - being laid of - until further notice!
The local airline is hardly flying - as we are all in lockdown mode!!
So no point in keeping 0800sunnytourist program going.
Will we be up and running again????? Who knows!!
Will keep you posted.

Meanwhile - you can track the planes - what little there are up and flying (oh there are lots of choppers and little cessnas now visible)  here --->  https://www.flightradar24.com/-43.53,172.63/8

From the other day - just ONE plane in the sky!!!  Sad to see



















Have fun!

Vanishing clouds or does the 0800sunnytourist program work after all ? ?

With the prop planes flying at lower altitude - the spray dispersal system is not yet properly set and has given mixed results so far.  There are many factors playing into this - least of all the wind direction!!
Recently we had a plane flying West to East - just to prove the point and there is a clear line where the chem-trail seems to work!!  Can you see the clouds disappearing into thin air?!?!?!?!
Still - a half blue sky is better then a non-blue sky filled with rainclouds - although I am sure there are countries who are praying for rain right now!!!
Guess the tourist here will be happy for now.
Once we got this sorted (MORE testing to be done yet) then we can consider which ''local'' route we shall employ this system . . . . . .
Will keep you posted
:)






Have fun!

The 0800sunnytourist program is still work in progress

Thought I give an update on this special program!!
The cat is well and truly out of the bag by now anyhow, so there is no longer a need to keep anything secret.  The recent trip to Europe - ostensibly for me to be on holiday, but in reality I was meeting with the Germans and trying to sell the 0800sunnytourist program to them - well - it fell flat out of the sky so to speak.  Some things must have gotten lost in translations. . . . .

Anyhow

Not to sit on our laurels - the NZ Goverment has done some more research into this and as a result added 2 more "citizens" or employees to their list.  The changes are as follows:

1 - the sign in procedure as previously explained here ....  (chemtrails-in-nz-and-the-magic-password)   have had some additional protocols added. We now have a one time pad and a 40 000 pages book(s) and a code book that makes James Bond envious.  Using  t h a t,  will lead to a new password and that - well - you know the drill. . .

2 - Some places in New Zealand are missing out on the "0800sunnytourist" program as they are not under a direct flight plan for the big jet planes. So our NZ Govt has tinkered with lower flying planes such as a De Havilland Canada DHC-8, commonly known as the Dash 8, or our very own planes (ATR72-600)!!  That would mean for example that Dunedin COULD experience the results of this special and no longer secret program - as one of the Turbo-props routes is to Invercargill from say Wellington and thus they fly directly over Dunedin.  This particular city has had rain almost every day in November and December 2020 - in stark contrast to its northern city sister of Christchurch which is almost in draught conditions.  (Not saying that our secert program has anything to do with that!!!)  HOWEVER we did use Christchurch as a guinea pig of a place (very conveniently as a lot of smaller planes do zip past overhead) and the results are promising. 
Sadly a end destination such as Invercargill will still be out of luck as it is a dead end (as in - get there and back out) destination - similar to the Cook Islands - where no planes fly overhead.  Rumor thou has it that the Antarctic program does use Invercargill as a waypoint (speak fly over the city) when the fly down to the various Antarctic bases (only during summer) and supply them with food and other stuff so that has got another possibility. . . . .

Cut a long story short - we did trial the amended and now supplementary 0800sunnytourist program ( the new version being now called "0800sunnytourist-atr" ) in or better over Christchurch and I was part of that testing team.  The video below is a snapshot from one of the days we trialled this program.  We call this a partial success . . . . . . enjoy watching the clouds disappear . . .






Have fun!
