   I firmly believe everyone has anachronistic vestigial racism baked in   
   from tribal nomadic times when the occasional tribe of "others" often   
   meant a fight to the death for scarce resources.   
      
   To pretend otherwise is to deceive oneself.  However, one can rise   
   above it, but still should not deny its existence.

   Lol.  I'm embarassed quite often when people tell me that by the   
   absence of wrinkles on my face, and my muscles (the first genetic, the   
   second by fucking hard work almost every day), that I look 10 years   
   younger than my actual age.  I feel that young too.   
      
   And yet I lived my entire life in the #1 and #2 regions of the earth   
   for sky high skin cancer rates (Queensland #1, Western Australia #2).   
   And I've had a rack of basal cell carcinomas burnt off (liquid N2) and   
   my skin is fucked, yet I still look young as hell - for my advanced   
   age, that is :)   
      
   It's all a state of mind.

   True.  That, in fact, is higher than our highest summer temps here in   
   WA.  Summer is only a handful of months away so I'll report then.   
   Could be a killa...

   Over/down here, it's absolutely necessary to have aircon.  We have a   
   big house so there's evaporative in the large living areas and   
   refridgerated upstairs in our bedroom and ensuite etc.  Fans, aircon   
   in cars, aircon in shopping centres etc etc.  We don't have a problem   
   with gas because we're a big exporter so plenty of cheap energy. Solar   
   panels coming up for us too, soon.  Elec is very expensive for some   
   reason.

   Won't happen.  Needless concern.  Worry about your health, it's more   
   important and more probable as you get older.
