*"Zorbas" is the name given to a cyclone that appeared in
the Mediterranean Sea and has afflicted mainly Greece for a week now, causing considerable damages, including loss of life. Usually, we 
do not see Cyclones in this part of the world, but we will see them more often with climate change! Man has to learn to respect
Mother Nature and to avoid Hubris!

Excellently penned; I also agree; we can do better and we must all try. What will it take to wake people? Although I don't want to know; if it wakes them up to Earth's reality then so be it. But I'd like to live despite it. Hope you and yours are all OK.

I thought to myself Demetrios will be inspired by the zorbas. Yesterday we had strong wind and heavy rain here in kusadasi but it has calmed now. I'm sorry to learn there was loss of life. Tom.

You thought right my friend, Tom! How could I see my country suffering for another time in only five weeks and not say something? Thank you so much. Happy you are fine!
