I made a map for my friends Journal Article. It’s of average petrol prices over 36 months at various petrol stations around South East Queensland. I really hope it gets published.

My friend is currently working in Jeddah, the second largest city in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A city of over 3.2 million souls in one of the wealthiest countries on Earth, and a city without a sewage system.

A fleet of trucks simply take the waste collected by residences and businesses and dump it in a depression in the desert of the outskirts of town. This has gone on for around 25 years. There is now a lake, known locally as the Musk Misk Lake (a rose by any other name would smell as sweet) containing millions of litres of human waste.

“A leading member of the city’s municipality has warned that Misk Lake is a ‘time-bomb’ that could drown the city in raw sewage in two hours if its banks are breached.”

The lack of sewage system also means that even light rainfall causes flash flooding, and the stagnant water provides an excellent breeding ground for Dengue Fever carrying mosquitos. The current outbreak of which has infected thousands.

I’m vaguely concerned for his safety, although I guess seeing a whole city drowned in shit would be one to tell the grandkids.

Today I discovered (while about 13 tabs deep in wikipedia dream sequence) that there an alternate non- or at least not-as-mysterious ending to Picnic at Hanging Rock. It involves time travel and a woman who turns into a crab. I’ve been sitting in the dark listening to the theme music on repeat waiting until it stops being creepy. I think this might take some time.
