Humble Pie<br />
Finally the Canterbury<br />
rugby team was beaten and<br />
Auckland walked away with<br />
the Ranfurly Shield. Our leader<br />
Don, and one other director<br />
(living up to his nick-name of<br />
Grumpy) lost an undisclosed<br />
bet and were forced to make<br />
payment. <strong>The</strong>y chose to pass<br />
their loss to Bruce in a humble<br />
pie.<br />
Fires in California<br />
Recently California was<br />
devastated with enormous<br />
bush fires that destroyed over<br />
3,000 homes and caused<br />
millions of dollars of damage.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re were over 800,000<br />
people evacuated from their<br />
homes. We had many of the<br />
<strong>Mainfreight</strong> family in harm’s<br />
way but thankfully none of<br />
them were hurt. Many of our<br />
team had homes that were less<br />
than a couple of miles away<br />
from the fire fronts, so were<br />
lucky even though they suffered<br />
some smoke damage. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
photos show how frightening it<br />
was.
