Given the events of the past couple of days I could seriously live without grass fires starting within a couple of km of my house.

No, seriously, I could. The whole suburb reeks of smoke - thank God I had no washing out. The smoke is also thick enough to see.

The fire was burning where I went bike riding a couple of weeks ago. This is another reason why I would prefer people not to refer to arson as terrorism - I really do not want any wannabe-jihadis with a death wish running around the suburbs lighting fires all of a sudden. I'd also prefer no wannabe-arsonists doing it without a death wish either, thanks. Or anyone, actually.

Sheesh. Elvis lives in Ivanhoe - of all the suburbs I wouldn't expect him to turn up in! A bit too snobby for his tastes I think. (Oh and I like how the outer edges of zone one have suddenly become "inner city". At this rate I'll be living in the CBD in no time!)

Incidentally the CFA's Melways reference is miles off (as in, wrong page) from what I can see. I think they might want the following page.

Elvis the helicopter?

The best quote I saw after the first day of the bushfires was, "I was praying for Elvis to come." Just a shame The Age had added (the helicopter) after 'Elvis'.

Good point re: arson & terrorism.
