And the foetid air and gritty of the dusty, dirty, city,
Through the open window floating, spreads its foulness over all.

Ironically he never actually went outside of a city his entire life, let alone Droving. phht. Henry Lawson was much more acurate, he didnt romanticise the Aussie bush.

10 Things about Why I Should Never Have Carrots

1) I love carrots!
2) I poke people with carrots.
3) I shove carrots in people's faces instead of asking them if they'd like one.
4) I bite the end off of the carrots and then shove them in the face sometimes.
5) I will spit them out if they taste bad.
6) They make me even more insane that I normally am.
7) They make me shake.
8) Voluntarily.
9) I move in sudden jerking movements.
10) I sometimes pretend they're cigarettes.

Although these effects might be caused by oxygen deprivation. My stuffy nose and eating can't be helping that.

10 Things I Would Do If I Had the Money (and in some cases the house):

1) I would buy a really nice tenor saxophone (complete with really nice mouthpiece) and a really nice piano.
2) I would buy a cello and learn to play it.
3) I'd build a room and fill it with play pen balls (That'd only take $1322.59 for enough balls (with the radius of 7.6), costing $0.19 each, to fill a room of 10 meters squared to a depth of two meters at 64% packing efficiency. Not including shipping and the cost of the room itself.)
4) I would build a reconstruction of the Temple of Jupiter.
5) I would build a reconstruction of the Coliseum and insist that people fight in it.
6) I would buy more CDs.
7) I would buy more sheet music.
8) I would eat organic.
9) I would travel to Italy and then Ireland and other fun places!
10) I would buy you a green dress (but not a real green dress that's cruel).

10 THINGS ABOUT THE RADIO TRAVIS USED TO HAVE

1. Sometimes the Cat would do it's security call over the radio. It was ANNOYING.
2. There used to be a rooster man on the radio. But I'm not sure if there is anymore.
3. It used to knock out any other type of signal; such as walkie-talkies, cell phones (although; cell phones of my day were rather screwed up...xD) and I'm sure wi-fi would be affected by it as well.
4. I used to keep a cactus on top of it.
5. He used to keep the biggest lobster claw EVER on top of it.
6. It fell off once. Travis was rightously pissed.
7. It beeped when you turned it off.
8. I used to scream at it and throw things at it when I was in a bad mood.
9. We used to blame all our problems on it. ("My truck broke!" "DAMN RADIO!")
10. We don't have one anymore; because Travis is not a fisherman anymore. In fact, I'm not exactly sure what he does...

*wanders off to ask him what kind of idiots pay him to do anything*
