No, this is not a 9/11 post, but seriously...
I am struck with grief this morning and rather paralyzed with guilt. How do I get so stuck on myself when so many are far worse off than me? As our world leaders meet at Copenhagen over the next several days, I pray (yes, Jim said "pray") that some kind of meaningful change can take place in lives all over the world. I'll let the nine sets of pictures speak for themselves, but I can't help but quote Casablanca (cheesy I know, but true), "I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world."

I guess the question is to what do we owe the current predicament: greed, carelessness, ignorance, or all the above. My prayers during the drought were not for rain but for a continued drought to make Georgians realize how precious water is and how flippantly we use it.
"And it never failed that during the dry years people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way."
