Ich bin Blindtext. Von Geburt an.

Es hat lange gedauert, bis ich begriffen habe, was es bedeutet, ein blinder Text zu sein: Man macht keinen Sinn. Man wirkt hier und da aus dem Zusammenhang gerissen. Oft wird man gar nicht erst gelesen. Aber bin ich deshalb ein schlechter Text? Ich weiss, dass ich nie die Chance haben werde, im Stern zu erscheinen. Aber bin ich darum weniger wichtig?
Ich bin blind! Aber ich bin gerne Text.
Und sollten Sie mich jetzt tatsächlich zu Ende lesen, dann habe ich etwas geschafft, was den meisten “normalen” Texten nicht gelingt.

Blind (Useless?) Text [a translation of the above]

I am blind text - since birth - and I will always be blind text. It took a long time to realise what it means to be blind text - one makes no sense at all. One will appear to be out of context in some instances. In most cases one will not be read at all. However am I for that reason bad text? I know for certain that I will never have a chance to shine in a bright light. However am I for that reason less important?
- Yes true - I am blind! But I am happy to be text.
And if for some reason you are reading this all the way to the end, I will have achieved more than most “normal” text will achieved in many instances.

Thank you for reading me and maybe even understanding my purpose :-)

FIREFIGHTER SAFETYin the SW of WA.

  •  Firefighting has always been dangerous work, but the risks have never been higher, and are getting worse.
  • What has changed, and 
  • Who should be fixing the problem?

What are the major problems?
? Very heavy fuels (long unburnt) on some CALM and other lands.
? Significant chance that a major wildfire or wildfires will occur within 5 years.
? Many scenarios of substantial threat to life and property.
? Likely that CALM firefighters alone may not be able to contain such a fire.
