It was 41C (105.8F) here yesterday and this morning we’ve had a shower of rain. Go figure.
I’ve written before about the four bronze pigs which are a popular attraction in Rundle Mall in Adelaide, capital of South Australia. Apparently, their names are Horatio, Oliver, Truffles and Augusta. These are my kind of sculpture, very life-like and with friendly expressions.
Now, some cretin has vandalised them with some sort of corrosive acid which has eaten into the brass. A 65-year-old man has been charged with the damage but has failed to appear in court. What an idiot. It’s only a matter of time before he’s arrested.

@Fa_Maverick I knew it! It was you and Bunny. That's what you were doing when the two of you went out the other night.

You can run but you cannot hide from the long arm of the law.

His age should have taught him the appreciation in art that gives awe to the eyes of viewers. The number of Artistic works is meticulously done that makes it interesting. Art is part of history that is transfered from generation to generation. Good deed is also an art that is written down to be remembered, and he is the opposite portraying an art of disgust, hate, and anger that will be remembered forever just like villains.

What a terrible thing to do. By the way, 105.8 F is much too hot!
