Book

I am reading a book called "The Big Thirst" by Charles Fishman. It is about water.  Sounds boring, but the first 100 pages are quite good.  The first several pages grip you with astounding statistics and then he talks about the evolution of water and it's role in everything from our blood to the manufacturing of microchips. There is a great chapter on Las Vegas and how they manage their water resources much better than almost any other city in the US which is especially remarkable because LV is in a desert and gets less than 6 inches of rain a year, average. 

While I am interested now, who knows how interested I will be in another 100 pages, but so far, so good.  Sometimes it's refreshing to read something that is factual instead of something from an author's imagination.  And one learns new things at the same time!  What a concept.

It is 6:20 pm here in Grand Prairie and the temperature is 105 degrees.  Grand Prairie was in the news this past weekend because of a shooting at a roller rink, a sad and terrible way to gain notoriety.  Six people were shot, one gunman who killed himself after killing them.  Tragedy is impervious to location, isn't it?
