I’m Gonna Let the Scientists WorryA website popped into my view today that deals with the various types of disasters that may befall this country in the foreseeable future, i.e., earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc. I’m very happy to learn that there are people (some are knowledgeable scientists) who are worrying about these possibilities.

The first person was there at about 8:40 a.m. Before he opened the door to let the crowd in, the man inside came out and formed them into a… click here to continue September, 25th, 2005 Neighborhood ActivitiesMy eyeballs are exhausted from the people watching all day out our front windows. There was an estate sale across the street, and for seven hours eager shoppers streamed in and out. I wanted to trade cars with the people in the cute little PT Cruiser convertible. Not really, but twenty years ago I would have. Tomorrow the sale… click here to continue September, 24th, 2005 |
