I caught something on the end of the news last night about a giant mudslide weaving through LA; cut to the next scene, and Oprah Winfrey is standing in it in her stilettos giving an animated description of the devastation. How quirky.
I really don't know why down here in Australia there is so much weighting given to US events (bushfires, of which a contingent of Australian firefighters went up to assist, as they have done many times), floods, freeze-overs, avalanches and mudslides...and every snort and gaffe from Trump is recorded (the latest being, "Trump attacks immigrants from 'shithole countries' " [Haiti, El Salvador, Africa]. Gawd. Nice man, don't you think?
