Happy ANZAC Day
ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day remembers the vets here. The date commemorates the landing at Gallipoli in World War I. Since about 10,000 aussies and kiwis died in this action, which eventually led to the evacuation of the entire force, this is another sign that New Zealanders love heroic but futile gestures. Which brings us to today's semi-final of the Cricket World Cup. Lots of futile and only a bit of heroic.
