November 3, 2008




Hey all:

I heard some blarney about a place more beautiful than California ("New Zealand", they call it) and decided to investigate this horseshit myself.

I arrived in Sydney after 28 hours of travel yesterday, and I realized right off the bat: San Francisco has competition. Sydney is magically beautiful. I only had enough energy to shuffle around for a couple of hourse, but I was floored.


Tomorrow is the Melbourne Cup, which is sort of like if you mixed the Kentucky Derby with the Apollo moon landing. People are going nuts! The entire country shuts down at turf time at 3 pm. "Mad Rush" is the favorite, but alot of these lads are putting their money on "Septimus". I may even throw a few AU$ on "Profound Beauty" to show.
