Book Review: The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water

If you haven’t read the comments from my previous post, Water On the Brain, please do so. I mentioned Charles Fishman’s book, The Big Thirst: The Secret Life and Turbulent Future of Water (paid link), (check your local independent bookstore). Mr. Fishman found the blog, and wrote a very nice comment!

He also asked me to consider writing a review of the book. Since, as long time readers know, I occasionally review pertinent media, here’s a bit more about The Big Thirst.

Eight Years of Blogging

Tomorrow, August 28, marks the 8th anniversary of starting this blog. As with many other jobs or responsibilities, it hardly seems that it could be either that long ago, or only that long ago!

As usual on these anniversaries, I’m assessing “progress,” trying to see what could or should change to improve the blog. I recently found a bunch of photographs that got de-linked in the recent switch to a new server, so that’s an improvement. The rest is all behind the scenes stuff, barely noticeable to the general reader, and boring to relate here, but some of the changes I’m contemplating will hopefully make it easier for me to post. That ought to help ensure we make it to 9th anniversary and beyond.

So, no words of wisdom, no pithy observations on the passing of time. I’m just grateful to you, the reader, for coming here every few days to see what we’re up to. Here’s to more anniversaries to come!
