not off topic! Has anyone been paying attention to whats happening in atlanta? A lake that is the entire water supply for 80 million people is going to be completely dry as dust in two months. and we are paying so much attention to stupid stuff elsewhere. Nothing is being done about this. Atlanta officials are racing against the clock trying to come up with a solution. Its like doomsday. Well, one of the solutions is to cut off water from Georgia rivers flowing south into Florida. Which affects us. Our water supply. We had five inches rain yesterday and still we are 22 inches behind annual rainfall. We are in apocalyptic drought/flood/feed and grain shortages nationally.
Yet people are so worried about stupid issues, spending govt money on the stupidest things. Just consumed with it and our planet is dying. its very scarey. I am off to ride Teev in a conservation area where two years ago we would have had to swim across the lake and now we will ride in the huge fifty acre dry lake bed. and where before we could ride for hours, stop and picnic and let the horses drink and wade on a crisp fall day, now we can only ride an hour, two at most. There is nowhere for the horses to have a drink or graze while we picnic on this gorgeous cool fall day. think of the forest animals. where did they go to find a drink? They are getting hit by cars on the roadways they would never go near before, rummaging around in peoples back yards, alligators and moccasins finding their way into swimming pools, biting horses at water troughs fighting for survival. for a drink. we need to think green now, not cause its a nice thing to do, or trendy or cool, but because it is time for desperate measures and we need to WAKE UP, its here. Do we really need to be looking for water on mars when Atlanta is on the brink of complete and utter environmental disaster? Atlanta is only the first huge city to fall. well. the second actually. there was new orleans. oh, and before that Homestead Fla which no longer exists it was wiped off the map. janice -- yipie tie yie yo
