TGIWWD = Tweets Galore It's World Water Day!
Yes, today is World Water Day. Every day should be WWD but I understand why we need just one. But if we forget about water for the other 364 days, then we do not make any progress. Here's another take on World Water Day - what are you going to do the Day After World Water Day? Don't leave anyone behind, that's what you should do.
I am now in Nebraska, which has been hammered by flooding. In downtown Omaha it is pretty dry. Here is a photo I snapped just a few minutes before we landed at the Omaha airport, coming in from the south. Barely discernible in this photo (center) is a runway at Offutt Air Force Base plunging into the Missouri River. Iowa is in the background.
Keep those Midwesterners in your thoughts and the folks over in Africa and elsewhere who have been hammered by floods.
Enjoy WWD!
