Hot now, summer in the city

A warm Saturday starting early. The lack of rain here in the Atlanta area is really affecting most of us. No watering of gardens, no washing cars/bikes, etc...Having grown up with not even thinking of water usage, now it's a really wierd thing to have to think about water. Someone is probably stockpiling water now. If our city, state, and fed gov't folk don't start thinking of how to increase supply, not depending on weather and climate, we're in for it. The technology is out there to create fresh water from the sea; let's do it. Don't wait until we're paying to have a drink of water.
Now a little rant about family issues. 22 yr old daughter, product of an alienating mother, going off to interview for her first real job. Makes me remember vividly how motivated she was prior to the divorce. She was always on the go, couldn't accept no for an answer, was a natural leader of those younger than herself and now is a teacher. Any wonder she's an early childhood teacher; about the age she was when her mother and I divorced. And all through the years she's been very difficult to keep in touch, feeling I was the bad guy. One day she'll get it, I hope. In the meantime I move on.
What about that action over in the sandbox? Is it time to pull out? As a former mil mbr, I have conflicting feelings. Yes, death of our troops due to simplistic technology while our technology can fly in with almost pin point accuracy, is frustrating, the real issue I believe is when does a commander in chief realize he has made errors and to correct them. Looking at our current commander and realizing his family history and military pilot history, gives me insight into why he can't change his mind or change course. He was steeped very deeply in a culture that said he "could do it" or be the decider and to change his mind after all that has gone before would severely impact his psyche in a negative manner. Of course his mil leaders long ago should have railed (sp) against him and that's another long topic.
