Copper Chopper

As I write there is a police helicopter hovering overhead...has been for about 35 minutes. I wish the crims would go somewhere else; that copper chopper is extremely noisy. I ventured out to see what the fuss was all about and just a short distance from our place there was a large police presence at a house. It is quite a nice house and I doubt that it is one of the drug labs we hear about too often.

I guess there will be something on the news tonight.

I managed to sell the leftover rolls of turf from Helen and James’ place. The bloke who is taking it cannot pick it up, but is willing to give James $20 for delivery and $4 per roll. Better than having to take it to landfill.

Yesterday I contacted a government Senior High School close to here which caters to a lot of newly arrived immigrants from places like Somalia. I figured that many of them could use a computer and to that end the school’s IT man visited and took away 10 machines and will collect the rest this afternoon. He will distribute them to worthwhile students, get their story and take their pic so that I can place them on a photo site enabling the people who kindly donate their machines to see where they have ended up.
Refurbished and ready to go

kev, There are drug labs everywhere although you wouldn't think anyone would risk blowing up an expensive house. Perhaps they were using their sprinklers on the wrong day....or put their veg. scraps in the wrong bin...It's good that you have donated those computers to the high school. they will make a lot of kids happy.

Love knowing the computers are going to be helping those who need them. A very good thing to do....Hugs

We were watching the choppers over your way from the roof job. Before the police hovered over your place we could hear a high speed car chase going on in the streets of Winthrop and Kardinia. I noticed the lack of media reporting too.
