Just a thought

I am about to read Collapse, How societies choose to fail or succeed by Jared Diamond. I haven't yet, but I read an article about the problems that global warming is expected to cause for the transportation systems and industries. I am concerned because our society now is global. Things that one country does can cause problems for all of us. There are many societies in earth's history that have collapsed because of their impact on the environment, but, they had somewhere else to go. We have a huge responsibility as a global society. If our society collapses, for any reason, where will we go.

just a little tid bit

I haven't had much time for posting, that is true. But, also, I haven't felt like posting. Sure, great things are still happening here. How can I stop them =) But, the anniversary of Ethan's death (3/3) and the upcoming Easter for some reason just knock me out every year. I know it has only been 5 years. And, as far as being unable to function, I don't have time for that. But, I can tell I lost a little bounce and drive this month. I guess this year should serve as a warning for next year, even if I have managed to repair much of the "damage" that defined my life for so long; I can not bring Ethan back and that will cause me sadness forever. It is just sad and will always be. I guess there is just nothing else I can say about it. But, Easter (that now means nothing more to me than the stupid holiday that Ethan didn't make it to) will pass and I will feel "ok" for another year. Come on Easter Bunny, lay those damn eggs.
