Not a hurricane

Freaky weather is far and few between here, although every time it rains we have random flooding problems in various places. You'd think some where some engineers would have decided to tackle this problem, but none of them seem to be here. In the mean time, this is what a storm looks like when it comes off the ocean in the Southern Hemisphere.

Bringing in the catch

Yes, traditional fishermen still exist. Even in the middle of a rich weekend housing area. And they still drag in nets and it does take a whole team of people to do it. And all the weekenders come out to watch, totally fascinated by this traditional show of manual labor. Perhaps they were also jarred into remembering that the fish they eat were once living, flipping silvery forms in these nets. Perhaps some of them don't have jobs that require actual work, so the idea of work in and of itself is interesting.

All of the fish shown in these photos were harmed and most likely eaten later that day.
