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.
