THE WEEKENDER :) CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT

THE BEST FUTURE BUSINESS?
      A few years ago I was at an international broadcast and communications trade show and forum when CNN founder Ted Turner said something that floored me.  He was asked if he was just getting started what would he invest in?  Television, computers, the Internet, wireless, telephony, or  what?
      Without a moment's hesitation he said "Water."
      I've seen "war game" strategies and table top drills where
wars are fought over water and where civil authorities train to maintain order when water supplies are sparse.  

     I told an inventor friend I wish I could develop a system that could produce water.  "Can't be done" he said.  That may be true, but what a boon for human kind.  
     In the meantime here is something absolutely beautiful,
calming and celebratory about water.  This is a stunning 
piece about some of the freshest water in the world, just about 3 1/2 hours from where I sit typing this.
     Take a few minutes this weekend to watch this.  It is majestic and ultimately, important.
See you down the trail.

HIGH DRAMA

HUMAN KIND AND NATURE
Take 2
     There is chilling new information since yesterday's post about the great white shark taking a bite out of kayak just off Cambria's Moonstone Beach.  The Cambrian and San Luis Obispo Tribune reporter Kathe Tanner has details.

IF YOU LIKE THESE
YOU CAN SEE IT LIVE
Magnificent Yosemite




    You may recall previous blogs where in I profess my passionate love for the majesty of Yosemite National Park,
one of the wonders of the world.  If you would like to see the park from your screen, you can visit live.
You have your choice of six cameras.
See you down the trail.
