much has changed here in the past few years: bugs are out of control. there are new bugs invading my home that have never before been an issue. certain new types of birds have been showing up in the neighborhood–birds that do not belong here. because of the changes in the insect world, certain plants and animals are suffering. everything is slipping out of balance. S*** rolls downhill, and it will only get worse.

unfortunately, Texas, Harris County, and the City of Houston have an insane method of dealing with the issue of flooding: after having drained the vast majority of wetlands in the area, they dig massive holes in the ground. doing this causes the water table to drop further. we are left with sun-baked, hard pack clay-based soil, and the rain waters do not soak in, but instead run off. the floods are disruptive and expensive, and they happen when we have even just a little rain. thankfully, the lessons of Katrina and Rita were not forgotten, and there should be little human life lost this time.

the changes in global weather patterns are real. the changes are our fault. something has got to be done-a LOT of something, right away. the pill will be bitter, and very hard to swallow for those who refuse to see the truth. why can’t we all see this for the opportunity it is? a lot of money was made in creating the problem, and there is unimagineable money to be made from its solutions.

if you pray, please pray for the inhabitants of the Gulf Coast–plants, animals, and people. it’s gonna be really bad.
