Coming Soon

The sun is shining on High Whilst every throat is bone-dry Though water is sought There's none to be bought Our eyes are too dry to cry *Much of the nation's fresh water resources will be spent this summer extinguishing wildfires

A serious, serious problem Rico. But I’ve got it figured... we should dilute the water. Easy huh? Hmmm... if it were only so. Sharp thinking Rico. Terry

The Trumps of this world are not concerned because water evaporates and returns as rain, but the rain mostly falls on oceans where seawater is grossly polluted by trash, especially plastic. Not a rosy future for grandchildren!

What a pity the world environments are in such disastrous shape.

The shame is that government is not smart enough to use sewer water instead of potable water to extinguish fires ......
