All the morning shows here in USA - Today, Good Morning America etc - told the US that today is Australia Day - and extended good wishes to all those who live at the top of he world!
So Huzzah and Hooray for Australia and particularly to all our Australian friends on the board.

Who exactly are the two Australians, AnnaS? I seem to get them so easily mixed up with those who write from New Zealand backgrounds!
Anyway, Happy Australia Day, do tell us about the celebrations there.

I have a feeling that Zildians sjmaxq and Pfranz Capfka are *not going to be very happy to hear that, WW.  The two very semi-regular Ozzies on Board are stales and Ozhev. If you didn't spend so much time teaching and grading papers you'd be able to keep up with all this!

I have from my first moment on this board gotten the Australians and the New Zealanders confused, I'll admit! But I will now commit to memory those two pairs. Yes, Stales, I'm pretty sure I could have put you into Australia--and Oz Hev, if I'd thought of it--but somehow I always put Cap there, too, even though he's written about New Zealand. But I won't forget again! And, Max! I'd always thought you were in Australia! Ha! How funny!
But don't feel too bad. It is very difficult to find Virginia's weather on national news, so I do understand how it would seem to be left out--even if left out of your entire nation!

Not true, WW, it seem every week i am hearing about some storm, or weather front moving in, (its in Virgina, now, moving north and east, and snow/sleet/freezing rain/etc will be starting in NJ at (pick a time) and into NYC an hour later..
i know all about virgina weather (and let me tell you, you guys have some pretty awful stuff as of late-- and you keep sending it north to bother me! (but truth be told, we NY'ers just shuffle it off to boston...)

Thanks for your wishes, wow (and others). It's always great to have a day off work (for whatever reason, and believe me, we don't need much of an excuse up here).  As a point of interest, there are some in Australia who don't celebrate the day as such, instead it has been called "Invasion Day" ...

Wash your mouth out, WW! Do you still not understand Trans-Tasman rivalry?
