Times ARE really changing.....

I had a lazy evening last night, didnt really feel like doing anything so i started watching TV and switching from channel to channel it was like flipping a coin each time I changed to a new station.......heads (H) would be "wierd stuff".....tails (T) would always be "something to do with the weather"

- (H) Viva La Bam on MTV (who invented this ????)
- (T) Hideous drought and wild fires in Spain and Portugal
- (H) Celebrating the Discoverys' crew safe landing
- (T) Starvation & Drought in Niger & Mali
- (H) Iran going well ahead with its Nuclear programme
- (T) Mega-Monsoons in India & Parts of China
- (H) Google buys shares at Ali-Baba (China, China, China.....)
- (T) Wild torrential rains causing dangerous floods in Lithuania (?????? who would have thought that ???)
- (H) Gold miners on strike in South Africa
- (T) Heavy snow (first time in decades) in southern Australia (East Australia hit by flooding too...)
- (H) An ex-Kenyan Qatarian wins a race in the Finland IAAF championship
- (T) Typhoons, Tornados, Hurricanes around the states & Japan
- (H) NASA launches a space device to investigate the red planet (Mars)
- (T) Thinning Ice in Alaska and Migrating wildlife.........

Despite the scorching heat all over Europe, its raining and quite cold in the Netherlands........!!!!
Im alittle worried at the moment because 3/4 of this little country is below sea level.....since the dutch have been smart about this....(canals, dykes & floating mansions) I wonder if theres an evacuation plan if the floods hit or if the sea decides to highten.......hmmm......would the country float? Random thought....... Most of my dutch friends have boats.....i should think of hooking up with some Expats and buy us a boat....maybe thats the plan.......?*&%#@!

In between all this Irony I figured that the hottest job right now is being a weather man......theres lots to say and guess what ! you can even travel to the disaster areas to report....while people are starting fires in Indonesia, the fires are starting themselves in Spain, while the US is completely agitated with Irans Nuclear plans, they themselves are working hard to enrich their Nuclear power plants ...While Niger & Mali are currently the most popular countries in Africa, they happen to be having quite an amount of Uranium.....cant eat it though.....all in all....isnt it just amazing just how weather news is like watching a thriller nowadays?
