Another fantastic article (insert satire here) comes to us from Reuters this morning. It speaks to the world’s demand on water, especially with regard to the modern trend of population growth. I think we are all keenly aware that water is the fundamental element of life. What consistently disappoints me is the lack of transparency […]

Floods, Mudslides, & Storms: During the Flood (Part 3/3)
I’ve personally experienced the devastation that a mudslide can cause. I’ve seen moderate flooding and the damage that can destroy hard years of work in building a home to fit one’s dreams.

Pine Trees for survival
Thanks to Tom over at the American Preppers Network (APN), we have this article today: The “Pine Tree” can quite arguably be considered the Survivalists (and Preppers) number one friend in the forest.

Floods, Mudslides, & Storms: During the Flood (Part 2/3)
One of the most dangerous mistakes commonly made during a flood is the attempt to drive through a road which is covered in water (seemingly stand-still or moving), as can be seen here: Why anyone would attempt to drive through without an amphibian vehicle is beyond me.

A Victory of Non-Fluoride Proportions
Almost seven-hundred thousand Floridians, residents of Pinellas County to be exact, no longer have to be concerned about fluoride being added to the public water supply. Who is responsible for this feat? Norm Roche. The fact is that Pinellas county began adding fluoride to the public water supply almost eight years ago and a vote […]
