Taking a New Jerseyan on a tour of Melbourne’s various botanic gardens these last few days has been an eye-opener. How beautiful is my country? #proofofmove

This is why I keep coming back to Sherlock Holmes.
Dr. John Watson: What delightful little farms these are, don't you agree? Aren't they fresh and beautiful? Sherlock Holmes: Do you know, Watson, it is one of the curses of having a mind with a turn like mine that I must look at everything with reference to my own special subject. Dr. John Watson: Well, it doesn't make the scenery any less admirable, does it? Sherlock Holmes: You look at these scattered houses, and you are impressed by their beauty. I look at them, and the only thought which comes to me is a feeling of their isolation and of the impunity with which crime may be committed there. Dr. John Watson: Good heavens, who would associate crime with these dear old homesteads? Sherlock Holmes: They always fill me with a sudden horror. It is my belief Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.

This treat bucket got filled TWICE and I had to do an emergency run to the supermarket before we ran out a third and final time. I had no idea Halloween would be so popular in this corner of Tasmania

From an interview with one of the US army lawyers post Nuremberg trials
…situation was ... I once saw DPs [displaced persons ] beat an SS man and then strap him to the steel gurney of a crematorium. They slid him in the oven, turned on the heat and took him back out. Beat him again, and put him back in until he was burnt alive. I did nothing to stop it. I suppose I could have brandished my weapon or shot in the air, but I was not inclined to do so. Does that make me an accomplice to murder? You know how I got witness statements? I'd go into a village where, say, an American pilot had parachuted and been beaten to death and line everyone one up against the wall. Then I'd say, "Anyone who lies will be shot on the spot." It never occurred to me that statements taken under duress would be invalid.
