Melbourne storm (not the football team)

So, Melbourne had a bit of a storm on the weekend.  I know of at least two sods who were injured buy some of the fist sized hail stones.  I was lucky the rally I was attending in the city was over with before the storm hit. 

I was sitting down to a fresh juice when finding out about the movement of this storm via irc.  A quick visit to BOM had me on the phone to home asking if the washing was still on the line while explaining there was a storm on the way.  My partner became the first victim to the hail stones as she was heading back out to grab the last of the washing.  The other victim was a friend who I had run into at the rally. 

The rally I speak of was one of many nocleanfeed rallies that will be happening around Australia until the government works out that A) we know they are lying  about protecting the children and B) the filter can be beaten by a 10 year old with the aid of Google.

By the time the storm hit the city, I was halfway through transacting with one of the organic stores at the Queen Victoria Market.  the shop keeper cancelled my order as they rushed to close up the store, leaving me hungry, cold and about to be wet..  I could have walked away with the food unnoticed…but that’s just not the way I roll.

Once out of the market I had the privilege of witnessing The Elizabeth Lake (formally know as Elizabeth Street).  Notice how the humans think that storm = anarchy.
