Shock Doctrine - Not Enough Water

I read a news article that stated the Aquaphor is falling again even after some substantial rain this year.

Seriously?

Let's talk about the basics of supply and demand with 100 people a day moving into Austin. It doesn't take a genius to understand that the small amount of water that does exist is getting demanded more and more.

I think the new movie "Interstellar" will have so much potential to tell people the dangers of our carefree human race.

The greatest threat to the United States does not come from immigration, it comes from for our poor policies related to food and water usage and distribution.

It is almost too comical to listen to people complain about things that have no bearing on our future, either in the world or just within the United States.

If you have 10 gallons of water, that is enough water for one person for 10 days or enough water for 10 people for one day. It's basic math. More people will need more water. Water is the one thing that the Southwest does not have.

I am not a math genius, so I find it alarming that the biggest question we should be discussing - which is water - doesn't get mentioned that much. Do a search.

And I'm even more alarmed that the government is now wanting to change the definition of navigable water to try to gain more control over water without explaining what the big danger down the line is.
Seriously?

We should be developing lines for water distribution or water will be gone at some point.

I feel so strongly that the discussion about water needs to be made before my grandchildren have no place to live.

Eggnog French Toast

~Eggnog French Toast Casserole~ Update: this has been a very busy post, viewed almost daily and consistently since it's original publication. I would love to hear about anyone's attempts at making this Eggnog French Toast. copied from Women of Faith daily newsletter This recipe sounds so amazing. I wondered if this was the casserole that Jessica and Rachel ended up rolling around in on the floor in The Family Stone . A little digging revealed that instead, it is actually Breakfast Strata which sounds equally appealling. I did not like the movie, The Family Stone. Maybe it was too realistic. Maybe I was hoping for something more whimsical and hopeful. I have tried a couple times since my initial viewing to watch it, but I cannot bring myself to sit through it.

Mitchells in the Revolutionary War

The next line I tackled was the Mitchell family. My great grandmother was Artha B Mitchell (1883 - 1977). I can barely remember her. I was ten years old when she died. She was the daughter of Francis Marion Mitchell (1855 - 1904). It is Francis's grandfather, Andrew Mitchell, Jr. (1760 - 1824) who served in the Revolutionary War. It is truly a story worthy of legend. Andrew was one of 3 sons born to Irish immigrants Andrew and Mary (McGowan) Mitchell. The young family came to the colonies in 1752. They began their journey in a Scottish - Irish community in Eastern Pennsylvania before migrating to Orange County, North Carolina. Besides the boys, Andrew and Mary had 2 daughters, Margaret and Nancy. At the time of the Revolution, my 5th great grandfather, Andrew, Jr was just starting his family. He had married Mary Tate in 1781. He was in service but took furlough to be with his ill wife. This information is documented in a a hand written SAR application by Andrew's

Revolutionary War beginnigns

With the 4th of July only a couple days away, I thought I'd spend some time visiting with the family and share some of our family heritage. As the United States turns 236 years old this week, thinking about those unique ancestors who risked so much to bring about the American independence takes me back to Virginia, North / South Carolina and Maryland and the original 13 colonies. We all get so wrapped up in our lives that we forget to honor the past; or, as is often the case, families are unaware of the past. Technology opens the coffins of complacency and sweeps away the dust of indifference. I love learning about my ancestors. They are some unique individuals who lived life in another time and place but who are still present in our genetics. Think about it...........the same DNA that existed in a person 236 years ago is chronicled in my own DNA. It is almost like a message left in a bottle...........all I have to do is open the bottle. Our collective written history is no
