Cars tampered with
Kia ora neighbourly neighbours
Yesterday I noticed something different about my car - some pesky basket has tampered with my car firstly removed 1 tyre middle cap hub cap, secondly tried and failed with a 2nd one, the caps on at least 2 of my tyres were loose (as I checked one I noticed it had been unscrewed so I checked the others) and where one of the hub cap mid caps were removed a head bolt has been removed. I’m guessing why the other caps were not touched because who ever was doing the deed was spooked / disturbed by something.
I’ve reported it but officially that’s all I can do really as nothing was seen by anyone, so now I’m putting it up on here to let neighbours know and to keep aware of what’s going on in our neighbourly circle community.
We have lived in this little area for a few long years and have never had anything like this happen before, so now I’m keeping watch getting no sleep hoping to catch some bas-terd in action.
Hard to sleep when you know your property has been tampered with.
Energy Resilience & Security
“India is facing a highly precarious situation for its energy security if the Strait of Hormuz – the world’s most critical oil shipping chokepoint – remains closed amidst the escalating Middle East crisis.”
Can you imagine how easy it is to choke New Zealand’s supply of oil & gas if it ever found itself in a conflict situation? How easy it is to blow up a 1 Billion Dollar LNG facility? Evan as a non-combatant like India you can be badly effected.
How about distributed solar installations on tens of thousands of roofs? Supported by distributed wind and tidal power?
Alternative energy won’t make companies rich - but it beats coal, oil, gas on not only price but security, resilience (just ask Ukraine), job creation, and the environment hands down.
It’s a no-brainer - unless you are a profit-oriented used car salesman … how did NZ ever end up with him? Nearly as bad as Trump.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
