So apparently Trump was the President of choice for a (small) majority of Americans who claimed the country needed to change direction and didn't want another boring term by a normal, average government. Real life isn't meant to be reality TV!

I'm not an economist, but 1. How do islands with 0 population even make the list? And 2. Norfolk Island isn't a country,it1 is part of Australia. Why does it pay 29% and the rest of us in Australia are 10%. Population of Norfolk Island is about 1500 I think.

The world is watching. I have several retired friends (Australian) who are cancelling travel plans to USA. They are now choosing Canada or Central America.

Today is Australia Day. Feeling lucky to live in such a beautiful and diverse country.

Antarctica today, just magical. Penguins, whales, sea birds.....perfect.

This is Lily. She brightens my day when the world seems crazy.

Perfect Mo'orea. Blue sky indeed. Love all the shades of blue in this photo taken last month while visiting French Polynesia.
