22 March 12

Today is WORLD WATER DAY, a time designated by the United Nations to reflect on your "water footprint" and on the fact that at least a billion people around the world are chronically hungry and thirsty because we (in the overdeveloped world) absorb so much of the world's water into our food. "The World is Thirsty Because We are Hungry" expresses the theme of World Water Day 2012. My fishy tie has a watery theme, and I'm wearing a blue "Water Furnace" shirt. And blue is also the favorite color of Janet Johnson, one of my EKU friends, whose birthday is March 22!
