What about our environment?

Good point. I am sure we all do something that can hurt the environment without really knowing it. Maybe it's time that reflect on our actions. Every little thing can help.

Now that's for me....

Some very severe weather most likely. I always think about how a lot of houses aren't even built for the severe storms we're going to have more often over time.

Yeah, we have to actually wait for the bad situations to happen first instead of thinking ahead lol

I was just thinking about the power of mother nature the other day. Last week, when I walked through the woods, the rain had made the paths rather muddy. The following day, we had high winds. So two days after muddy paths, I went for my walk, and the ground was no longer muddy, but stodgy, so easier to walk, and it occurred to me. How would we have dried the woods out, and how much would it have cost to do the same job, as nature did?

The energy involved must have been vast.

I've been watching this series (24-lectures) on the "Black Death". The bubonic plague devastated Europe starting in or about 1340 AD. One interesting fact that came up though, was that the European population doubled between 1000 and the 1340 date and was due to a period of global warming. Warmer temperatures increase arable lands and food supplies.

I guess the desire to cool the planet these days is to reduce the population through famine.

Apparently there were three types of plague, one that affected the lymphatic system (dark blue buboes) 18 to 20% survival chance, another the lungs 2% chance and a blood infection that resulted in death in less than 24-hours.

Although the plague returned periodically over the next fer centuries, it was never as lethal. Based upon DNA studies, the bacterium evolved to be less lethal and less likely to kill its hosts.

The plague originated in Asia.

The technolofy is getting so advanced, it helps people kill themselves without even knowing it.

My desk in my home office is right under the heat register, so I know how hot it is getting in this house, otherwise, I have no clue just by walking around the house.

I have always liked dandelions, really lovely flowers.

Dandellions is helpful if you are diabetic. 

It's also a very good vegetables for stir fry and you can make tea out of it too.

There certainly is no shortage of dandelions for this.

Wow, I have to try it.  I can find dandellion wine right here, in the local vineyards.

How is taste like?  Bitter, Sweet....
