I’ve lived there, but I’m not from there. It’s been a couple decades since I’ve been there.

Kinda like Australia at the moment. Much of the east and west coasts and across the north are burning at the moment and expecting catastrophic bushfire conditions today, with temperatures in the mid-high 30s (about 100°F). Meanwhile, in the south-east, it was 33° last week, 28° yesterday and a maximum of 15° is forecast for today.
But according to the Fed Gov, now is not the time to talk about climate change because it’s not appropriate to politicise the issue. The PM has offered thoughts and prayers to those affected by the rampaging bushfires.

K-mart knockoffs for me. but the protectors covered much of the brand imitation shame. also traded a kid for a real clear one, which was the peak of cool, you could see the parts and people hadn’t really done that much yet.
Went great with the vuarnet sunglasses and bugle boy jeans rolled up.

I had a watch with a photo of then-President Nixon’s face on it. Obviously, a gift from a grownup.
I kid you not.
Does that make me one of the cool kids? (No, no it does not…hangs head in shame)

I had a friend who did the multiple watches thing. But they were all calculator watches.
