Just Out of My Tap. That's All I Know


Thanks to the Nature Conservancy for this video



These Jaywalking-esque questioning of people off the street are always a mix of fun and fright, aren't they?

This is frightening on many levels, not only for itself but because of the many other things just like it (where does your food come from, for example). Water is essential to life. Think about someone at this mysterious source shutting off our supply. It shouldn't be something that we know nothing about, should it?

Visit sites like this one to learn where your water comes from. Watch videos like this to understand how much we've had to wrestle with Mother Nature to get what water we have, especially in the west (also comes in book format, an excellent read), and to understand our tenuous hold on this life-sustaining substance.

The kind of sleep we're in is no longer refreshing; it's making us sluggish and groggy. We need to wake up.

  1. Doesn't it periodically, more so in other parts of the country, randomly fall from the sky?

  2. Yep, and many people tend to bitch when it rains, especially around here. Like that guy on 4th walking his dog... a few sprinkles and he looked up at the sky and declared that it was "bullshit." Really??
