Armageddon

Temperatures yesterday topped out at 41C(106F)in Melbourne, so needless to say, it was a bit warm. Meanwhile, fires continued to range in Victoria's east, damaging electricity transmission lines, which led to blackouts throughout much of the state, including Melbourne. And most importantly, the high temperatures delayed outdoor play at the Australian Open for much of the day, resulting in some matches still underway at 2:00am. Ahhhh, summer in Australia. . .
