I am going for my first trip to Rarotonga, so I'm curious as to what people think about the differing accommodations. We get in at an awful hour of the night (1.50am) and I'm thinking somewhere very close to the airport that we could walk across the road to. Then around the other side near Muri, looks like a good place to hang out. And again perhaps close to the airport when we leave - time is 3am.  Wondering what everybody's opinions might be, and any suggestions - all welcome.

A serval cat has been found in Ohio after being spotted in a tree in Cincinnati. They're native to Africa & illegal to own in Ohio. After capture & during a medical examination, the cat tested positive for cocaine.

Nothing really new here, we have been aware of tbis for some time, but its good to keep an eye on what's going on in the pacific.
China's outreach is likely everywhere. Aussie has been infiltrated with Chinese spies too.

One of those prickles has been killed; a Taliban governor has been killed by a bomb blast in his office. I can't say I'm sorry but I'll try not to be happy about it - although its a pity it wasn't their entire govt.

Godwits fly 11000km across the Pacific from Alaska to Farewell Spit in 9 days. It is the longest non stop migratory journey of any bird in the world. 

An a380 jet is impressive but try to make a machine that weighs 300 grams - after fuelling for the trip 600 grams - that can fly to Alaska.

I have two, unformatable micro SD cards.
I was going to bin them, most likely will.
Thought I'd have a go at fixing them.
Can anyone recommend a free software that will do the job.
I have looked at a few but they all seem to be for recovery, not repair.

Unbelievable, we heard the same crap about paper bags vs plastic bags!
Now all the shops have switched to paper.
Good way to keep the oil industry going.

... and we need to remember that next time we decide to let sleeping dogs lie, accept something we shouldn't, or see someone in need of rescuing.

Even in the small stuff, courage is a super power. Even for grown ups.
