Have a Drink on Me.

Oh boy the rain was just so incredible today that we had three fire trucks come to our corner of town and have to carry people out of their cars so they wouldn't get washed away. It gets pretty bad in the spot I live here in good old Tallahassee, Florida. I have been seeing it rain all over town and I was getting so darn tired of watering my plants knowing that April showers bring May flowers and I wasn't getting any darn rain. I hate when that happens.

Today we were blessed and all my plants are finally full for the first time in months. When I first moved here in 1977 it rained here every day at around one o'clock everywhere in this town and now we have ice caps melting and global warming and I wonder where all the darn water is going is it turning to snow for the mountain tops or what.

We have a lake called Lake Jackson and it use to be so full of water and it was huge. People would come from all over to fish that lake but every eleven years or so it drains and then a couple years will pass and it will come back. Well now it's been 10 years and I call it swamp Jackson because there is a little pond that if you walked in it the water wouldn't find it's way over your shoes to get to your feet unless you are wearing tennis shoes. So I wonder again where is all the water.

The water we have these days has hormones in it and drugs and other nasty stuff but the funny thing is bottled water has the same stuff in it so you can't win. We will all be growing gills and breasts. I bet a man will really have a baby if we keep this pace up with our waste products. Sanitary napkins, diapers, and other products that use to not be around are being thrown away and put in land fills and when we get rains like today the water runs through it and ends up in the Aquifer until the water is ruined. All ready Wakulla Springs one of the countries best known spring is now so damaged by nitrates that the fish are dieing and it use to be so clear that you could see turtles swimming around but not any more. They did away with the glass bottom boat tours and I'm not sure but I think they stopped letting people swim there. The springs claim to fame is that it was where the Creature from the Black Lagoon was filmed.

I guess if things keep on the way we have been going a blog about dieing of thirst will be a true thing to see. Water, water every where and not a drop to drink. With the things that are in our water these days boiling it doesn't even purify it but I can't see any of us stopping the use of disposable diapers or sanitary napkins or antibiotics, aspirin, and more so what have we learned here today?

Pray to God that your water won't hurt you before you drink it and believe it or this world will take us all out and reclaim us into the dust we started from.
