Water

I was listening to Weekend Edition today and they mentioned the One Day on Earth project was asking people to document today since it was 10-10-10. In fact 10:10:10 p.m. on 10-10-10 just passed if one wants to make note of such things.

Anyway, I took a little video and a couple of pictures to add to the project. When I logged in tonight I noticed one of the categories was water.

Of course, in much of the world, clean water is a precious, scarce resource. It’s more scarce in Kansas than we seem to realize, too, but that’s another issue.

Anyway, I found it ironic that the two photos I had taken today, without knowing this, were of water. But, probably not what they were thinking. I took photos of fountains with water colored pink for breast cancer awareness.

While I don’t disregard the importance of the cause, I’m wondering if one day we’ll be astonished that water was so plentiful we had fountains running, much less with pink water in them.

It’s yet another example of the lavish lives we lead in America, without even knowing it..
