All my images were available on the internet, except these from my TV.
I'd say some good water management is needed here! Not just the way the engineers built dams and dykes along rivers, but some use of the newer knowledge of how to make communities more healthy for the need for water and incorporate trees and smart use of buildings. My friend Robertson Work has some good ideas. He's worked with many communities all over the world, and is now retired and I met him at Swannanoa Watershed Action Network (SWAN) a couple of years ago. He has wise words in his many publications.
It's time for a new model, as Bucky Fuller would say. Work with the needs of our people, and stay aware and attentive of the needs of nature, to avoid this kind of catastrophe happening in the future. SWAN has a good start in helping groups of people make these decisions, where climate change is included from the start of the process.
My favorite coffee shop hasn't reopened yet. Soon, they say. Probably when potable water is easily available.
Today's quote:
Walt Whitman said, “The English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.”
