You're a backwords lot, downunder I don't think bfvernon is from down under? Maybe she is from up top. Now where does the sun rise first? Down under. So you're behind the down unders so that makes you the back wards lot. Flying to the USA the down unders travel back in time so who are the ones who are backwards? Backwords Mary, not backwards.

Flying to the USA the down unders travel back in time so who are the ones who are backwards? Wow, time travelers!!! (don't tell Nathan, but what happens to time when you travel to Venus I wonder?? ) Spending a day on Venus would be quite a disorienting experience – that is, if your spacecraft or spacesuit could protect you from temperatures in the range of 900 degrees Fahrenheit (475 Celsius). For one thing, your “day” would be 243 Earth days long – longer even than a Venus year (one trip around the Sun), which takes only 225 Earth days. For another, because of the planet's extremely slow rotation, sunrise to sunset would take 117 Earth days. And by the way, the Sun would rise in the west and set in the east, because Venus spins backward compared to Earth. While you’re waiting, don’t expect any seasonal relief from the unrelenting temperatures. On Earth, with its spin axis tilted by about 23 degrees, we experience summer when our part of the planet (our hemisphere) receives the Sun’s rays more directly – a result of that tilt. In winter, the tilt means the rays are less direct. No such luck on Venus: Its very slight tilt is only three degrees, which is too little to produce noticeable seasons. From NASA.

So you're behind the down unders so that makes you the back wards lot. Flying to the USA the down unders travel back in time so who are the ones who are backwards? First inhabited place to see the sun is Pitt Island's, Mt Hakepa. It is part of the Chatham Islands. I did this in February 2022. It was a stunning day. I recommend it. It's only a short flight from the Chathams.
Some say Kiribati, and others say Hicks Bay in New Zealand, based on altitude. But from what I have seen, Mt Hakepa seems to be the place. It is a nice climb to see the sunrise, and interesting sculptures at the summit by a Polish artist, Woytek.

Yes, I’ve been back of Bourke. I lived and worked there for many years. It’s beautiful. (There aren’t any 2x2s, which was part of the appeal)

This was an on air segment on the CBC National news broadcast this evening. The content was very similar to the article above, and Karin Larsen, the author of the article, was the correspondent. My impression of the segment was that it was balanced reporting. They even interviewed a member of the 2x2s who has been running a website on the sexual abuse issue in the church for over a decade. Workers were given an opportunity to appear on the segment, and declined. On a sidenote, Ms. Larsen attended a gospel meeting in British Columbia as part of her research.

My previous post is spelled backwards. 'Delleps!' Got it after a bit of thought. Thanks!
