The Wettest Place on Earth

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

The world is full of opposites. It is strange that one of the wettest places on earth actually has a water shortage for humans. How can this be? The purported wettest place on Earth is Mawsynram, India, with an annual rainfall of 12 meters. Since their elevation is so high, the clouds are forced to dump their high water content.

The problem for the Indians that live there is that due to high erosion rates, the water quickly flows downstream. Deforestation has caused the soil to erode and has left nothing to hold the water. It’s amazing to me how man can have such an impact on the natural ways of our earth. I really hope that someday mankind will learn to treat the Earth with respect and dignity!

Seeking Help

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

My friend terry has been involved with drugs and alcohol all his life. He has been in trouble with the law at various times and has lost many opportunities. He straightened up from time to time, but has always fallen back into the same old routine. Last month, he was admitted into a treatment center for drug detox. He had become involved with a prescription drug and was out of control. He is still battling his addiction to alcohol as well.

This time, we have a lot of hope for him. He was lucky to be admitted to one of the renowned drug treatment centers. It is called the canyon and is well known as an excellent place to recover from different types of healing. They have a wide range of treatment options to help those affected with this malady. They use a variety of techniques to bring hope to the victims of abuse and their families.

I am sure that this time terry will succeed in overcoming his problem. The statistics show that people who receive this type of treatment have a much greater chance of success. We are all pulling for him and feel that he has made a great decision to finally seek help. I hope that everyone who knows of anyone with a similar problem will urge them to take the same path as Terry and finally become another success story!

I don’t remember

It seems that I have been having a serious problem remembering my passwords lately. I have acquired a number of them over the years and they are starting to add up. I have had to send off for reminders, but that has only led to having to remember the answers to the reminder questions!

One thing I did was to change my passwords to the same ones for multiple sites. That way I have reduced the number I needed to remember. I know that is not the greatest move as far as security is concerned, but I felt the need to do it. Anyway, what’s done is done and at least now I can access the sites I need too.

On the Road Again!

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009

Recently, I had a bit of trouble with my car. It had been running a little rough and it finally gave out. I knew that it would be expensive for me to take it to a repair shop, so I started to ask around. My friend Bob recommended that I use the place where he gets his Car Parts. Since he is a mechanic, I followed his advice.

I used the website called 24/7spares.co.uk. They had everything I needed. I compared the prices and decided I could save money by buying some Used Car Parts. I was glad to find the car breakers that I had been looking for. I must also admit that I was surprised at how fast the service was available. I’m glad I listened to my friend Bob and soon I’ll be back on the road!
