the indefatigable Australian vs. the South Poor from Californian

[Terrance]

According to Foucault in The Order of Things, this is
an experience which should lead us to apprehend, in the "exotic charm"
of another
system of thought, the limitation of our own. But I wanted to defend,
not deconstruct,
my spatial system. Australia is a continent the size of the United
States, it couldn't
possibly sink! Besides, Sydney people know about The Last Wave. That's
what
happens when after a massive earthquake, California sinks – and a
mile-high tsunami
wipes out everything in the Pacific, the whole East coast of Australia
with most of our
major cities, then breaks on the barrier of mountains protecting the
deserts, and the
"Western" towns, beyond.

PS next time I'm in Hawaii it will be as an Ironman. How's that for
delusions of grandeur?
