I play Disc Golf, and enjoy it a great deal. I also enjoy photography, and have a camera with me most of the time. Sunday just gone saw the 2015 Chick Flick (a tournament focussing on female players) here in Perth, held at the Rob Hancock Memorial course, and I decided to concentrate on recording the event, rather than playing. Although the name and entry classifications are rather jokey ("Chicks", "Not Chicks", and "Not Chicks Dressed as Chicks"), actual play is pretty darn intense, and scoring divisions were split along more traditional lines, with Women's Open and Advanced, and Men's Open, Advanced, and Rec divisions. Play was two rounds of 12, followed by a final 6 for the top-card Women's Open players. We had 11 women playing - which was a great turnout, given the quite small size of the Perth disc golfing community. As you can see from the photos, conditions were ... challenging, to say the least, with gusts over 50km/h and pounding rain...
If you're going to disallow solar flares I'm going to go with superhero tabloids getting the science of what they're seeing wrong and go with what's actually a volcanic eruption...
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that's an easy enough mistake to make if you're trying to observe from a safeish distance whilst ducking for cover...
Fry the grid, satellites, and all communications... bring warmongers and nations to their knees, selectively.
ReplyDeleteYou might be able to grow food crops selectively, in a comic book version; and heal 'dark sickness' and of course, cause radiation burns.
ReplyDeleteWreak havoc on weather systems, cause/relieve drought, control animal migrations and moods, tides, fertility, and... oooo, this is getting nifty!
ReplyDeleteHmmm ... Coronal obviously means pertaining to Coroners. Therefore Coronal Mass Ejection must cause all Coroners to leave their offices and by extension it probably includes all US style elected officials.
ReplyDeleteCoronal Mass Ejection is credited with saving over 40% of Californian public servants when the big one hit by getting them instantly out of collapsing buildings.
Would be good for removing the nobility come the revolution?
ReplyDeleteOnly if the nobility were stupid enough to get themselves elected as public officials. Most will just buy their officials in bulk as required.
ReplyDeleteOr are you asserting that coronal pertains to coronets?
