I have to laugh a little with "global warming" being the cause, say nothing
about something for instance: Dubai adding what, 100 acres per day of ocean
front property for the last 12 years or more, to build houses and motels and
crap? have you Google earthed the bay there to see all the new islands they
have created? if you take a glass of water that is clear and completely
level full, drop in one rock, what happens? even a pebble can change water
levels. magnify that to everywhere in the globe where they are doing such
things. But it is those damn Americans and the cars and motorcycles, I
know*

They did that rocks trick on the sea to create sand...
http://wikimapia.org/4825684/Dique-de-Candeias
see the sand? When I was a kid in the 80s, ultralight planes used that
sand stripe as landing area. Then, sea rised and started hitting the
wall. If you scroll further up (north) or down, you'll see that this
part is the part where the continent goes furthest on the sea... About
10 years ago they started building the rock dam. Worked, sort of. It
pushed the problem further north...
You know, my hometown is "Recife", that's "reef" in portuguese. Wonder
why? Because the entire shore is lined with reefs, which are made of
live organisms in a tight symbiotic relation over a rock bed. If you
start pouring granite rocks over it, you are essentially killing a
very delicate and complex habitat. The result is less fish, more
sharks, less people living out of fishing and unpredictable ecologic
catastrophe. They had another of these dams planned but govt. doesn't
allow because of ecologic concerns... This one picture above was made
by an insane mayor. When federal govt. took notice, the thing was 90%
done. The damage on nature was huge with lots of side-effects...
What's amazing is that from my hometown up to four states north
(several thousand kilometers) the same problem happens... I believe in
waves, but I'm seeing first hand a rising of the sea level. If it is
global warming or melting of glaciers, I don't know, but something is
happening the last 20 years and things are getting worse, much much
worse every year.

have you ever been down stream after a big rain....
"muddy waters"
think about the hundreds of millions of acres
getting rained on.. where does all that silt go??
well it goes down stream... and some times
matter gets shoved back up into mountains...
interesting system, not perfectly balanced
but it evens out fairly well...
john
Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby left this town
Sunshinin' all day long
But the rain keep comin' down
She's my life I need her so
Why she left I just don't know
Forty days and forty nights
Since I set right down and cried
Keep rainin' all the time
But the river is runnin' dry
Lord help me it just ain't right
I love that girl with all-a my might
Forty days and forty nights
Since my baby broke my heart
Searchin' for her in a while
Like a blind man in the dark
Love can make a poor man rich
Or break his heart I don't know which
Forty days and forty nights
Like a ship out on the sea
Prayin' for her each night
That she would come back-a home to me
Life is love and love is right
I hope she come back home tonight
"muddy waters 1956"

Mud season is getting underway, but 50 deg today, first time since the
last weekend of November (after T-day) felt awfully good. It was nice to
shed the jacket even if I did keep the flannel shirt on. They're talking
near 60 deg by Sunday. I might melt!!
