nz appreciation week: train your sheep

sheetrain.jpg

since i was born, the sheep population [new zealand] has decreased from 70 million to 40 million.

trains don't even account for 1% of passenger trips taken within new zealand.

sadly, sheep now comprise less than .0002% of new zealand train conductors.

speaking of sheep...my computer has howled once (like a b-movie werewolf) around 5 p.m. for two days in a row now. gb, i need your film noir computer detective expertise. what is going on? i have noted that official sundown in my area is right around that time, and i have recently added a new version of the useless flappie widget, which claims it will transform if i feed, please, and put it to bed appropriately. other than that, the only other lead i have to give you is that i have a mac. what is happening to my computer, p.i. gb?

Private Eye Steve don't play that Mac thang. Perhaps I should install the widget and crash my system too.
