Evanses. This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I'm John Batchel going to New South Wales,

my very good friend, my very good mate, Jeremy Zackas, past election day,

and Jeremy and I, for some weeks now, have observed a phenomenon.

That is, he's on the right side of the world, the southern hemisphere.

I'm in the wrong side of the world, the northern hemisphere.

That means that I'm enjoying springtime as he is struggling to welcome winter in Australia, New South Wales.

I reminded Jeremy that there was a movie in the 1960s.

It was very successful at the time called Endless Summer.

A couple of guys in their surfboards traveled around the world, north, south, east, west,

following summertime to continue to surf the waves. So Jeremy and I've decided we live in forever

springtime. When I'm having spring, he's having late fall. And vice versa. I got through his

spring hearing about the blossoms. Now he gets through mine.

Jeremy, a very good day to you, mate. The eastern redburn I got for my 75th birthday is in full

purple bloom. It's about 12 feet tall, and it'll go to about 40 feet. However, the tulips are all up now after the cold weather of April.

Little tulips, big tulips, even the dark tulips. A lot of yellow, but I do have purple.

The daffodils, the early daffodils have aged out. The late daffodils, especially the delicate ones,

the double cups, they're coming in. The lupin are about two to three feet tall, short of their blossom.

And if you know what Lupin is, if you invite it in your house, it will not leave.

Lupin is a colonizer.

That's a polite way of saying it takes over.
