Pam & I wish each and everyone of you a
truly happy Christmas
and a new year that
brings
you closer to your goals.
What's that?
You
haven't
got a goal......ah well, maybe you can have a bit of
fun making one.
Orange, Bathurst, Lithgow,
Katoomba
and all
the surrounding
villages and localities.
With integrated
organizational projection receding to a compatible
reciprocal paradigm bi-coupled with comprehensive
dynamic flexibility paralleling monitored logistical
mobility we could extend the conceptual equation to
a functional nonstationary contingency.

don't talk like that in here)

That big black pussy cat is about! |
 |

 "What the hell was
that!?" is what NSW Wildlife Information & Rescue
Service (WIRES) member Rachel Konrad said to
her daughter
Chantelle. Apparently Rachel had sighted a big black
cat. She spotted the cat at the side of the road at
Bilpin on the Bells Line of Road......."Three feet from
head to torso and the rest of the cat was hidden by
the bushes." said Rachel.
Part of Rachel's job is
to work with fresh road-kill by
checking the pouches of dead 'roos for joeys and
moving them off the road before the pet food shop
owners get to them. Rachel
said that the other day she had moved a big 'roo off
the road and an hour later it was gone. She didn't
think that the Council's Inanimate 'Roo Clean Up
Squad (CIRCUS)
would have done it that quick so maybe the cat took
it.

The aim of the website is to make available the
opportunity for communities to work together and
strengthen families, whilst also providing easy access
to information on places that accommodate visits by
families with children.
The site was organized by
Paul & Fiona Rossiter in Orange. Paul & Fiona have 6
kids who all get along with each other.
Fiona is a
Councilor and a registered nurse so is pretty much on
the go. Paul is in charge of the kid brigade and
director of domestic due diligence......it all works out
just fine.

The Legend of Coffee
Kaldi, an Arab, (it's been said that he plays for the
other team - check out the pic - you work it out)
was looking after his goats in the
paddock. As was his want, Kaldi found a shady tree
and nodded off.....Oliver Sudan he was woken by a
hell of a racket,
he prized open an eye and noticed that the goats
were having the time of their life.....charging around,
hopping, skipping and acting like a half legless Cairo
lap dancer. Being a bloke and all, Kaldi went down to
the goat playing field to see what the hell it was that
was causing all this merriment. There, standing alone
was a darkish green bush with bright red cherries and
the goats were hoeing into them. Kaldi figured that
the cherries were setting the goats off, so he
thought "If its good enough for a goat, its good
enough for me." So Kaldi sets into them himself.
Pretty soon, Kaldi the goatherd and his charges were
doing belly dances and fox trots in the top
fourty.
Kaldi got back to his hut and chipped out a quick
note on a handy sandstone tablet, strapped it to the
back of a goat and sent it off down the road to the
local monastery.
The head monk came out to
Kaldi's
paddock and got stuck into the cherries
himself.....again, the same euphoria swept over him
and he thought "Maybe we have come up with a cure
for those Benedictine type hangovers, this will
smarten those drunken monks up - maybe we can
get down to some serious praying."
Monko supremo took some of the cherries back to
the
monastery and planted them - up shot some more of
these dark green bushes - more cherries, more monks
eating them - more serious praying - distribution to
other monasteries - more planting - more praying -
ship some to the rellies overseas - more planting -
more bushes - more cherries and the early morning
heart starter was born!
Folk would get up in the morning and chew on a
handful of berries because back in the 6th century,
dripolators, percolators, espresso machines etc
hadn't made it through customs.
In Italy, Count Orlando Fausto Ferdinando Eduardo
Esposito was munching on some berries with his
morning biscotti and warm milk. It wasn't daylight yet
so he was sitting scoffing by candlelight, had a heart
attack, dropped dead, knocked over the candle and
burned down the chateau.
In the clean up one of the vigile del fuocos smelled
something that he had never smelled before......he
called out.....
"Eh! Luigi, comma ear - watsa da smell?"
Luigi, nose in the air, followed the scent, and traced
it to the bowl of berries which of course were
roasted to perfection.
"Emma find it." called out Luigi.
The aroma was delicious, he crunched one between
his teeth and exclaimed -
"Oy Vay! - boyoboy - haffa we garra business comin
uppa!"
All the firies gathered around, brewed up a pot and
named it after the Count.
Since then, no-one has been able to make a cup
of
coffee like an Italian
.....just ask any one of
them.
(Despite the appeal of such a legend, recent
botanical evidence indicates that Coffea arabica
originated on the plateaus of central Ethiopia and
some how must have been brought to Yemen where
it was cultivated since the 6th century. Upon
introduction of the first coffee houses in Cairo and
Mecca coffee became a passion rather than just a
stimulant.)
