Last friday, I was out on a photo excursion with my photo class [of 1] at one of the local wet markets and came upon a couple of fishmongers arguing about the time difference between here and Oz. I supplied the correct answer and found out the reason they were on the subject was because theyapos;d heard on the news that the financial markets at home were in freefall. It only barely registered at the time because I was eager to resume my diatribe on tungsten lighting in environmental portraits. And then last night, just before i left for a night off, Asan told me just how much the Oz dollar had fallen.

What a spin out. Mr G has just about always been on the winning side of the exchange rate. I spent Oz dollars in the Island State Motherland on university summer hols, spent English pounds in Western Europe, gloated briefly in ebay transactions when the US dollar was deflated, and for almost 2 years now, enjoyed a strong Oz-Fantasy Island exchange rate.

Yesterday, someone put me in the driversapos; seat of a spankin Beemah. It was a bit like turning on a computer, which I suppose is not too far from the truth. It didnapos;t grunt like Scoop, but the tiptronic transmission was pretty flipin fun and I squealed like a girl climbing our hardass hill at 90ks with more to spare. Its owner put some local currency in my hands for gas, so I thought, to save myself an overseas withdrawal fee, Iapos;ll pay for this with credit and pocket the dosh. If only Iapos;d kept in mind fishmongersapos; gossip. Believe it or not, I paid somewhat over AUD100 for 30 litres of premium. I felt mildly conniptive when I worked that one out.

So now that the human artifice that is World Financial Markets has once again shaken itself awake to the fallacy of its dubious premises and permanence, we can all stop and breathe for a while, and watch movies like Into the Wild. :-) I imagine this version of the parable of the rich landowner will feature a few times in the next few weeks. I wonder though, how much a downturn in financial markets affects the daily lives of those who are already in poverty- is it something that only primarily affects those who have capital? Tell me if you know. In any case, we are told that the bite will come early next year.

Just came off the phone with Ruth and Amy, who were in what was dubiously called youth group years ago. Theyapos;re in their 20apos;s now and I think back to what we thought was rebellion in them at the time, and look at my current Rhino Brigade, and just have to laugh. If my boys get even half the chances at life that Ruth and Amy have had, Iapos;d be over the moon and on my knees.
