The move to a new blog at the new blogger, a new island home in New Caledonia, and a new job has been a painful experience for many including me, but now that I've settled in, it suits me even better. Let's see if the spambots like it too.
Judging by the following news item, I left Penguin Island just in time.
New Zealand Press Association, AUCKLAND, Thursday:
Japanese authorities are resisting international pressure to let a Greenpeace vessel tow a stricken whaling ship away from Antarctica's coast, amid fears of an oil spill.
The 8000-tonne ship, carrying 1.3 million litres of oil, was crippled by fire on Thursday, 175 kilometres from the Antarctic's biggest penguin colony.
The New Zealand Conservation Minister has warned of an environmental disaster if the ship starts leaking oil. He urged the Japanese Government to accept the offer by the Greenpeace ship Esperanza - a converted Russian tug - to tow the whaler clear of the area. So far, the offer has been rejected.
And apparently an official with Tokyo's Institute of Cetacean Research, which controls Japan's whaling program, said the blaze aboard the processing ship could spell the end of this season's whale hunt.
Dearie, dearie me. Everything balances up.
Adolf! Zeig! What is going on? What was the matter with the other one? No one can keep up with all this stuff. It's no help at all. Hotboy
