I propose that our government spend billions of dollars building canals all across America.
Then, when one area is flooding, the water could be diverted to the dry areas, and when one area gets too much snow it could be piled up near the canals to melt later, and thus be transported where needed.
This mass movement of water would allow everyone to have the water when they need it.
And, it would put millions of people to work. this would give our economy a shot like the transcontinental railroad did in the 1800's.
Okay, maybe it's a crazy idea, but...
Water would only have to be pumped to the continental divides, and then diverted to areas of need.

Hey! Did I hear the ABC newsman tonight say that the American Red Cross is spending 91¢ of every dollar donated for it's administrative overhead?
Surely,I must have misunderstood since I was eating chicken and rice at the time.
Did you have a wonderful day?
Why?
Why not?
It was YOUR day to do as you wanted!

Year of My Rebirth
January 18,2010
2009 was the year of my rebirth. The BIG ONE tagged me on June15,2009.
A massive heart attack.By lots of luck,God's abundant mercy, and quick-working EMT's I survived the initial attack, barely.
A famous cardiologist in Pinehurst, NC, named, Dr. Joseph Parrish performed an amazing life-saving thing when he put a stent in the only artery I had left that was not blocked.
Four days later Dr. Kiser performed another miracle when he patched up my worn-out heart with a quadruple by-pass.
Thirty-nine days of institutional living and I was a changed man. Walking was something I had to learn like a baby taking first-steps.
I had even lost the ability to write.
Recovery has been a nightmare of ups and downs, including several emergency episodes of EMT's, ventilators, blown-out veins from all the IV's, many,many wonderful medical personnel, and one bitchy nurse out of the dozens who took care of me. I hope she was just having one bad day.
I am forever grateful for all those who worked, prayed,cried, and continue to pray for my recovery.
I have a long way to go. Prayers and material help are still needed to help me survive. Gas for trips to Duke is very expensive, and hotel rooms,whooooeee!
I have to have a transplant. Doctors at Duke University Hospital have been great in giving me the courage I need for the battles ahead.
