WATER A POEM BY MARY OLIVER
WATER

BP GULF OIL SPILL A KILLER - LINK TO DISCOVERY NEWS UPDATE
"McKinney said he believes that as a result, the oil spill may have increased the size of the so-called "dead zone" of oxygen-starved water off the coast of Louisiana and Texas.

NSIDC NATIONAL SNOW AND ICE DATA CENTER
It's way too hot! Here in the Northern Hemisphere it is SUMMER and there are some overwhelming heat waves happening right now...
