Interesting situation in the Southeast.
Due to serious drought, folks in Georgia need more water. Atlanta's drinking water is at dangerous low.
If water is held up from flowing to Florida, shellfish will die putting fishermen out of business.
Governors of both states trying to solve difficult problem.

Astronomers claim that they can see a distant galaxy throwing bad stuff at a neighboring galaxy. Both galaxies are thousands and thousands of light years away from us. (A light year is the distance it takes light to travel in a year).
Since the scene is so far away from us, the actual event was happening hundreds or even thousands of years ago because that is how long it would take for the light to get here from there.
OK galaxies are not real close to each other so how can stuff from one galaxy get all the way to another? How are we able to tell that this is happening?
The more you learn about the universe the harder it is to believe the whole thing.

The terrible weather in the whole midwest and northeast is causing all kinds of problems...deaths, lack of electricity, damage to houses and cars...while here in Florida we had a heat wave which abruptly changed to a cold wave. Now let's see... is it all caused by global warming? or George Bush? or Rove? Or could it be just a normal blip in the weather and not in the climate? I heard recently that the ice in the north was back to within 1% of normal and the ice in the south was heavier than ever. So is the ice-melting only going to happen in the summer?
We are only about two feet above sealevel so I am watching for the ocean to come rushing in here any time. Or am I safe for 30 or 40 years?

Oh before I forget....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

And if I offended anyone with that greeting I just have one thing to say.....
GET A LIFE!!
