Hattip to Father Z at What the Prayer Really Says. The Civil War and fried chicken, brought to us by an American turned Australian, what could be more American than that!

…what could be more American than that?
What – the chicken, or the Australian?
Actually, the Aussies have available a lot of roast chicken in the State of Victoria – and wombat, and kangaroo, and beef etc etc.
Our closest neighbours have suffered the worst bushfires in their history – thousands of homes destroyed, 230 odd people burnt to death. The fires started on Sat. 14th. Feb, and are still burning, despite being brought under control. But there is still a 1000 km. front of partially controlled fires, and their weather this weekend is going to be hot – up to 42 deg C – with hot dry nrtherly winds which could reignite the fires.
They are in need of our prayers. My cousin who moved from Victoria recently to New South Wales, has lost several friends to the fires.
They have my prayers Don. I have read about the fires and they are horrifying.
Salvidor Dali lives!
And yes, the weather down there is … frightening.
Don the Kiwi,
Your friends have my prayers as well.
