 | Dave, you're right. Some farmers in Queensland haven't seen rain in over five years. The one small bright spot from this disaster is some farmers are starting to think about their relationship with the land and are beginning to think tearing down trees to provide pasture space is not the best in their long-term interests. |

| | Grant, I notice the map is for 14 months but from what I've been read, the decreasing rainfall across the country has been a trend for a long time - many years, correct? |

| | Dave, so do we, especially our farmers, many of whom have almost given up hope due to the length and severity of this drought. Rural suicides have risen with the flow-on financial effects of drought hitting many communities. Below is the latest map showing the stark situation. |

| | Good morning, Dave. You have been busy! I forget your school year ends in the middle of the year unlike ours. Congratulations on achieving the milestone of graduation. The fun has just started! Regarding soccer, we might see your girls rivalling the US World Cup team. The team's performance against Thailand was stunning. They would have to be tournament favourites.
Regarding weather, we are supposed to be in winter but are experiencing record warm temperatures in many parts and are still having the worst drought on record. We would love some of your rain. |

| | Grant, It's been rainy here.
I apologize for being so absent but we have been getting two kids through High School Graduation in our house the last few weeks.Graduation was last Wednesday, and a big block party for three grads ensued yesterday on the street in front of our house, so there's been a lot of work to do. In addition, my daughters soccer team made a run for the state cup these last few weeks also. They slayed their 3 cross town rivals to win the district, and won the regional semi-final befor finally losing in the regional chanmpionship last friday. Before it was over they were 1 of only 8 teams left standing in Michigan High School division 1 Womens Soccer, out of around 130 teams that begin the tournament. |

Love the Bonnie and Clyde Quiz. I recemtly watched the movie and enjoyed it, tragic as it is. |

| | Dave, neither do I. The thing about "reality" shows that makes me smile is that they have nothing to do with reality!
|

| | Grant, I don't particularly care for Reality TV and don't watch it at all. I think with the advent of the Internet the networks realized an uptapped market that people wwere willing to watch but I don't understand why people want to. |

| | Dear PeopleQuizzers, my nation slavishly follows what American media do so are you deluged with reality shows? We have some awful dross from that genre masquerading as entertainment. One particularly odious example is Married at First Sight. |

| | Dave, thanks for this. Yes, I was aware of this having watched the match last weekend. Our tennis stocks have sunk dramatically since the hey days of the 60s and 70s so any positive news receives blanket coverage. |

| | Good call on the Tiger Woods feature Grant. Him winning the Masters yesterday has certainly rocked the sports world here in the states. Surely there will be a movie on him eventuially now, with the classic theme of overcoming struggles to rise again.

| | Dave, this level of thinking is a challenge for a Friday evening! Regarding parallel universes, I will confess to sounding like a redneck (the Australian equivalent is "bogan") and say I will believe in them when I can see one. |
