Only in New Zealand?

The front page of the Auckland newspaper carried a story - Top Jockey in Intensive Care After Hunting Plunge - which started as follows: Top jockey Michael Walker was in intensive care last nightafter falling more than 10 meters into a gorge while pig hunting. Walker had to spend the night in the bush as one of two friends made the long trek out to raise the alarm. The 24-year-old was winched from a steep gorge at Okau, Taranaki, yesterday morning. He had slipped down a steep slope before falling a further eight metres into a narrow gorge. He suffered serious head injuries and, it is understood, a ruptured spleen and damaged shoulder. Taranaki Rescue Helicopter pilot David Manduell said Walker was saved from worse injuries by the dead pig he was carrying, which cushioned his fall into the gorge...(It is an interesting paper). Well my goals for the next seven days are to finish mowing the lawn, see a movie, and find a power cable and USB cable for my mP3 player, a SanDisk: if anybody has some ideas about how I could best do the latter task with the player, let me know at manfordb@gmail.com or manford_barber@hotmail.com, and thanks. We had clear skies and a "whole" moon, as a kid I was with called it one time, this morning. It is usually in the lower 40s in the morning, warming up as the day goes on and even if the ambient temperature is fairly low the intense sunlight warms you up. Emily gets to play badminton at school today, and sometimes soon Joseph will visit the local University library with the group of smart kids he is a member of, to get a library card. Take care.
