Emerging Market For Water...Hotter Than Oil

According to a new NASA study, the Mid-East is losing fresh water reserves at an alarming rate. Countries like Syria, Turkey, Iraq and Iran are losing groundwater due to mismanagement and a 2007 drought. I think we need to start shipping water by the barrel over there and I think it should be going for about a $100 per barrel, give or take. Of course, if there are tensions anywhere in the world, it will negatively affect the price of water, and of course at the change of every season we'll have to increase the price due to the cost of switching over from the winter blend to the summer blend and things like that. I mean, you have to take into account the logistics of this sort of thing, supply and demand can be a tricky thing!

The Turkey Has Left The Building...

Well, it's another turkey-day come and gone. We had a really nice one, I hope you did too. This was the first real Thanksgiving meal we had in our new home. My parents came up and my wife's sister and her nephew came over. Just a small gathering, but we pretty much filled up our small home for the first time. My wife cooked a great turkey, my mom brought up her famous "meatballs", and my son and his fiance made a delicious pumpkin pie from scratch. All in all it was a great day.
