Recent droughts in Europe once again made visible the "Hunger Stones" in some Czech and German rivers. These stones were used to mark desperately low river levels that would forecast famines. This one, in Elbe river, is from 1616 and says: "If you see me, cry"

1. I read about this yesterday.

All over the planet, lakes, rivers, & reservoirs drying up. We're getting much needed rain this morning.

2. Meanwhile, here in N. Florida, it has rained almost daily for the last six weeks.

In fact, I hear thunder in the distance as I type. I wish we could send some of our excess to others...

3. Yep. Whatever you have too much of is what you're going to get more of with climate change.

Drought? More drought. Rain? More rain. It is too bad there's no way to share. In few years someone's going to have to choose between Lake Mead or Lake Powell. We think because we turn on the facet & water always comes out, it always will.
