April 5th is www.tabletopday.com.

April 5th is www.tabletopday.com . And the day Western Australia votes again for the Senate (it is a long story). I guess I'll have to pull out Credo and Werewolf... and maybe Betrayal at House on the Hill. Any other suggestions?

And here is the second of my political postings, although really it is Alicia Smith's.

And here is the second of my political postings, although really it is Alicia Smith's. Visit belowtheline.org.au . Look at what the party ticket votes above the line actually mean, and consider if you can do a better job of distributing your preferences yourself. While you are at it, do a bit of research - find out what these people stand for - and who they stand for. Do you want to be represented by an associate of a major mining magnate? Do you want to be represented by a rabid socialist? Howabout a raving gun nut? Or someone who puts sharks above people? If you don't read up about them how do you know? Lastly, do as Alicia suggests, and learn more about how the senate elections work, and remember that the only way you can waste your vote is to vote informal. Or not vote at all. Vote responsibly - it is supposed to be your government. Make it so. Originally shared by Alicia Smith Western Australians, make your vote really count. http://www.belowtheline.org.au/state/wa.html

On the other hand, the Cottesloe Pylon is a favourite subject of mine, and it was particularly photogenic this evening with a brewing thunderstorm across the sunset forming the backdrop. Behind me, there are dozens of other photographers taking shots of the various installations that make up  http://www.sculpturebythesea.com/ for 2014.

You're only going to get a couple of political things from me ahead of the senate re-run.

You're only going to get a couple of political things from me ahead of the senate re-run. This extraordinary speech (and attendant meme)  is one of them.  The other will be if belowtheline come on-line again. Remember: You can only waste your vote by voting informal. @SenatorLudlam#transparency   #accountability   #australianpolitics   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtqrfiEV8Gs
