Rain, Drought, and Getting A Leg Up
February 9th 2007 17:52
My apologies for the long lapse of this column. Involved in a move of residence which took up most of the time. We should be back in sync now.
NEWS:
The Australian drought continues to parch the land and dry up much of the countryside in many parts of Australia.. Global Warming, El Nino and other phenomenon are being blamed. More and more governments and persons in places that count seem to be coming around to the fact that Global Warming is a real thing and are beginning to take some action to stop this devastating condition.
VIEWS:
It seems that more and more responsible people are finally taking their heads out of the sand and realizing that Global Warming is not just a theory but a real threat to the entire planet.
NEWS:
In Jakarta, Indonesia at least 20 people have been killed and 200,000 were forced from their homes by floods in Indonesia’’s capital as rivers overflowed from four days of rain inundating the city. The government dispatched medical teams on rubber rafts into the worst-hit districts amid fears that disease may spread among residents living in squalid conditions with limited access to clean drinking water.
VIEWS:
No rain in Australia and way too much in Indonesia. Let’’s keep those carbons from being emitted into our only atmosphere and pray and hope that the rain gods take heed and distribute the rain in a more productive way.
CLICHE OF THE DAY: ““GET A LEG UP””
Meaning: To get a boost or advantage.
Example: I could get a leg up on the competition if I had more quality material in stock.
Origin: Comes from a horseman getting assistance onto his horse by another cupping his hands to create a foothold to help hoist the rider onto the horse.
QUOTABLE QUOTES: On September 17, 1994, Alabama's Heather Whitestone was selected as Miss America 1995 and was asked “If you could live forever, would you and why?”
Her answer: “I would not live forever, because we should not live forever, because if we were supposed to live forever, then we would live forever, but we cannot live forever, which is why I would not live forever,”
JOKE OF THE DAY: Never marry a tennis player; to them, love means nothing.
MORE “MURPHY-LIKE LAWS”
To spot the expert, pick the one who predicts the job will take the longest and cost the most.
A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that works.
If mathematically you end up with the incorrect answer, try multiplying by the page number
Under the most rigorously controlled conditions of pressure, temperature, volume, humidity, and other variables, the organism will do as it damn well pleases.
Work smarder and not harder and be careful of yor speling.
THANKS FOR READING AND SEE YOU NEXT TIME
