    Also, I do barbecue all year, just that in Winter I do it in-house by putting all the foodstuff on a grill in the fireplace. If you are a BBQ lover you need to try it. Yesterday I had some ribs with baked potatoes and sauerkraut from my personal harvest. I love pouring all my hatred, pesimism and negativity out when all my stuff is fixed only :-P

    Nice. My fireplace wasn't designed for such experiment so when I say I do
    BBQ all year. I mean outside. No negative Celsius temperature can scare me
    away to fire it up and then bring the food back home or take an extra
    blanket outside for family consumption on the deck.

    The only blocker that I still find reasonable is wind.. this can make grill fire freaking dangerous. especially if you mix charcoal with real wood.

    But if winter is frost beyond measure I still use Raclette table grill, placed on the dining table. It's electric, you have small shovels where you can put cheese and potatoes with veggies to get grilled and melted together and the top platter is regular electric grill I put sliced chicken or beef.

    It works very well as BBQ equivalent for the winter time in my case.

    2) other videos where there are some big knock-down drag-out fights in malls that don't appear directly related to the shopping experience, i.e. they didn't happen when the stores opened and people were fighting to get in, but rather in the common areas and food courts.

    You will also find some mass shoplifting videos.

    The fighting ones look more violent than anything I ever remember seeing from the old Black Friday. People having clothes ripped off, being dragged by close and hair, large groups fighting each other, etc.

    I'm glad it's now more just stupid people being stupid rather than the greed of insanity going on.

    Yeah, while I wish it wasn't happening at all, it is good that at least one
    of the seven deadly sins appears to have been reduced in the equation. :D

    Queensland is nice this time of year.. :)

    do you work part time for the local tourism board :)

    Yeah, turned out to be a bit of a non-event here. No hail, and only
    rained for a little bit, there was thunderstorms, but not so close that I was worried about it hitting a pole.

    that's good.

    Well, if it's the same storm no need to worry. The one adelaide had a few days ago might be a bit different, was apparently quiet a bit of
    flooding.

    I think it is, it's hitting the South Island of New Zealand now and onto the North Island over the coming day or so, not as bad here, just wet...
