TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary, 11 - 17 May 2013

Early again this week!

Headed to Cape Cod, MA, so I'll be on a plane most of the day.

This weekend will be the last to submit an abstract for the AWRA Annual Conference. The abstract submission site will stay open through 19 May. No more excuses!

Note - if you are new to this summary: to access a story, click on the link beginning with 'http://', 'is.gd', or 'bit.ly' (usually). Clicking on a link beginning with '@' will take you to that person's Twitter account;  clicking on a link beginning with '#' will take you to a Twitter list containing Tweets about a particular topic. Some items may not have a hot link to a story, which is fine - it may have been just an informational item or a personal message to someone. Or, I may have screwed up and forgotten the link!

Enjoy!

TGIF! Weekly Water News Summary, 4 - 10 May 2013

This past week seemed like 'Halogen Week' on WaterWired. In honor of Drinking Water Week, I posted reviews of two books dealing with drinking water additives: chlorine and fluoride. You still have two days to celebrate Drinking Water Week - or chlorine or fluoride, if you are so inclined. 

You also have an extra week to submit an abstract for the AWRA Annual Conference. The abstract submission site will stay open through 17 May. No more excuses!

Note - if you are new to this summary: to access a story, click on the link beginning with 'http://', 'is.gd', or 'bit.ly' (usually). Clicking on a link beginning with '@' will take you to that person's Twitter account;  clicking on a link beginning with '#' will take you to a Twitter list containing Tweets about a particular topic. Some items may not have a hot link to a story, which is fine - it may have been just an informational item or a personal message to someone. Or, I may have screwed up and forgotten the link!

Enjoy!

Well, it got up to 82 degrees F (28 degrees C) here in Corvallis today. Sunshine, blue
sky. Could see the Cascade Range from my home office.

This picture is by Jeremiah OsGo (on Twitter, too). It is looking east over a wheatfield toward the Cascade Range.

Rest in peace, George Jones, who died today at 81. As someone said, 'His life was a country & western song.'

I don't know where he's going, but I know how he's getting there.

He stopped loving her today.

Mary Frances returns home this Sunday.
