They say that lead exposure can effect ones short term memory... but I don't believe it. They say that lead exposure can effect short term memory... but I don't believe it. Did you know that exposure to lead can have a neg effect on your short term memory? Its not proven ya know. Helpful hint for those eating Chinese food- 1) If your dumplings don't float don't eat 'em 2) If your chop sticks have no.2 stamped on the side ask for silverware!

Well, That title is really a joke...a Lil dry humor....I'm going to "Illuminate" something very serious and sad and you folks have me waxing funny. Today Nov 6 is the official end of the Rainy season in the South East, which runs from Mid-April thru Nov. 6 The problem, as I'm sure your all aware by now, is that it was the "driest rainy" season on record and comes on the back of two years of lower than normal rain fall. So what does this mean? Well, Lake Okeechobee is currently about 10 feet under its normal level and is around 6 feet below sea level. That means salt water incursion that began months ago is going to be allowed to continue and its now a matter of months(not years) before the Lake dies from the drop in PH that will occur from the salt. To add "salt" to the wound, This dry season which still receives rain, just not normally as much as a rainy season, obvious given their names. But do to a light Elnino condition expected to be even dryer! Water is still being taken from the Everglades which cant afford to give any. The only good thing I can say about Whats going on in Florida is due to the real estate crash developers have ceased there forward encroachment on that pristine and fragile ecosystem. I guess I'll end it there on an up note note instead the usually down "pour". Future prediction- By 2015 water will be more valuable than oil. If forced to, you can live without oil, you cant live more than tree days without water. So, because most of the worlds fresh water is stored in The glaciers, the Greenland Ice Shield and the Polar(north and South) Ice Caps. They are all melting at an alarming rate faster than anyone could have predicted. 2015- Water will be 12-15 dollars/gallon, no public water uses allowed any more, Pools, fountains, fish tanks, car washes(unless built with a self contained recycling system) and absolutely no landscape watering! water will be rationed to each man women and child based on a study to determine amount needed for one shower/week. Tooth brushing and drinking. A special allotment will be given through a drawing for those pets still allowed. Desalination plants( transforms salt water into fresh) will be a very costly(est 600,000,000 per plant)and require a large amount of energy. Which is how we got here to begin with. Not looking pretty is it???? WE/YOU can still prevent this catastrophe....tic toc tic toc

Follow the today staff to the "Ends Of The World" they will highlight the Global Climate Changes that Ive been Illuminating. ITS A GREAT SIGN THAT SINCE "INCONVIENT TRUTH" there has been a steady increase in awareness. This will hopefully translate into changes in our life styles.

Bats have always gotten a bad "Flap" very similar to that of the wolf. what is important to know is that it could not be farther from the truth. Like the Wolf, Which if removed from an ecosystem, will cause a ripple effect that is devastating to all other species both plant and animal. So too with the Bat. The bat functions as one of Mother Natures regulators. Not only do they keep insect populations(like mosquitoes and crop eating beetles) in check but the fruit bat also pollinates(In same fashion as a Bee) 95% of all sprouts in the rain forest. One bat can consume 600 to 1000 mosquitoes per hour while feeding. This is very important and as tropical climates expand, due to climate change, so will the breeding habitat for mosquitoes. More wetlands, More mosquitoes, more mosquitoes, means more water borne Illnesses.( Malaria, Typhoid,Westnile,Avain Bird flue, to list just a few.)..... The problem here is The future many bats now face. 6 of the 45 species of bats in the US have all ready disappeared and many more sit on the endangered species list. The remaining group is considered threatened. Pesticides and habitat destruction are the leading cause. Like the Wolf and the Shark they have been demonized with no just cause. I guess its no different than Racism is in our world. The fear of the unknown? Its apparent that if we fear "it" "it " should begin to fear us because that fear we have will lead to your "its" extermination. In the last one hundred years there have only been 5 documented deaths do to wolves, yet today many still fear them. Odd fact is mans best friend is the direct descendant of the wolf. I must once again "Illuminate" there are on the average 11 shark attacks world wide causing an average of 5 deaths.... yet we slaughter over 100 MILLION -yes 100,000,000 every year. Most just for their fins. You can thank China for that one too. With every lose of a species we cut a strand to the "Web of Life" that supports our very existence.
