Burning, Grumpy Mole

What's moley and grumpy and burns hot?

No, not my left leg (well that, too)! The Grumpy Mole Saloon, scene of some of my more drunken misdemeanors like dancing pissed on tables during my student days. The place you could go to pick up a drink and a chick to screw over the road in the gardens and no, I was never picked up in the Mole, nor screwed in the gardens, but thanks for thinking of me. It was truly a hot place to be 7 years ago.

It was hot today, too. On fire even.



It seems they had a wee fire. What a hell of a way to call closing time, eh?

In other news, the Oldies and H traveled down-country today, past the mountain, but they couldn't see the sooty top for cloud cover. They had a safe and uneventful trip, unlike this poor bugger, hidden in his crashed car down a gully for God knows how long.

The remains of a body found in a car in bush in south Waikato today could have been there up to 20 years, police say.

Detective Sergeant Kevan Verry of Tokoroa police said police were advised this morning by a pig hunter that a car had been found in the bush with a body in it.

The bush was on the north-western side of State Highway 5, several kilometres east of Fitzgerald Glade on the edge of the Mamaku Rangers, Mr Verry said.

Police said the damaged car had the remains of one person in it. more...

I hope someone out there now finally has some closure.
