DEAD SEA SINK HOLES SUCKING TOURISTS!
I like my "headline better than theirs..." Here the breaking news from Joseph Marks of the Seattle Times...
"These underground craters can open up in an instant, sucking in whatever lies above and leaving the surrounding area looking like an earthquake zone.
The phenomenon, Raz said, stems from a dire water shortage, compounded in recent years by tourism and chemical industries as well as a growing population. "This is the most remarkable evidence of the brutal interference of humans in the Dead Sea," he said.
The parched moonscape, famous as the site of biblical Sodom and Gomorra, is the lowest point on earth and runs more than 60 miles through Israel and the West Bank."

POOL SEASON IS HERE !
When I was growing up, having a swimming pool set up in your backyard for the summer was a very big deal! (We went to public pools too!)
