- Nuts & Wood

Safety Harbor, FL USA

A light rain fell early this morning in Koroit - about 3am. However, when you're sleeping in a steel garden shed even a light rain makes quite a racket. Given the unusually heavy rainfall this season, when awakened by such a noise, one wonders about arks. In spite of the noise, the sky quickly cleared.

There was very good news from 40 feet underground - color was found. Several nuts with color showing on their skins were found along with a very solid and colorful piece of opalized wood.

Soon after sunrise Saturday morning, I'll be arriving in the very pretty and pleasant city of Brisbane (pop: 1,810,943), on the southeast coast of Queensland, Australia. While in Brisbane, I'll need to get a new cell phone. Telstra, the Australian phone company, stopped its CDMA service and introduced NextG. Based on a quick look at Telstra's map of NextG coverage, I might be able to use my new phone either at or close to my mine.
