I welcome your posts Rowan. Thank you. I'm thinking the same way. I can't help noticing the shorts and sandals and bare arms either. I headed a "Bushfire Survival Group" after Ash Wednesday. (Contary to a lot of popular opinion the group was mainly made up of volunteer conservation workers.) The rules for survival were set down during this period, based on past fires everywhere.
When the time comes for looking at the events of the present in a cool way (no pun intended) it will be the evidence gathered from people who died -- while following the rules --- that will be very important.
My wonderful Gilchrist guitar -- yes Hildebrand will share his Gibson with me. Frank really likes my Gilchrist. It will enjoy his attentions.
