How many of us, myself included, have lost our bearings; we are no longer attentive to the world in which we live; we don’t care; we don’t protect what God created for everyone, and we end up unable even to care for one another! And when humanity as a whole loses its bearing, it results in tragedies like the one we have witnessed….The question has to be asked: Who is responsible for the blood of these brothers and sisters of ours? Nobody! That is our answer: It isn’t me; I don’t have anything to do with it; it must be someone else, but certainly not me….Today no one in our world feels responsible; we have lost a sense of responsibility for our brothers and sisters….The culture of comfort, which makes us think only of ourselves, makes us insensitive to the cries of other people, makes us live in a soap bubbles which, however lovely, are insubstantial; they offer a fleeting and empty illusion which results in indifference to others; indeed, it even leads to the globalization of indifference. In this globalized world, we have fallen into globalized indifference. We have become used to the suffering of others; it doesn’t affect me; it doesn’t concern me; it’s none of my business!

Today post obviously about climate change , just reminding of the reasons by Burning or cutting down trees reverses the effects of carbon sequestration and releases greenhouse gases (including carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere. Furthermore, deforestation changes the landscape and reflectivity of earth's surface, Global warming may increase the intensity and frequency of droughts in many areas, creating more intense and frequent wildfires.

Who doesn't love delicious buttery corn? ... except, it is January so our local supply is pretty much depleted. But never fear - if you stop at the Dollar Store you can purchase vacuum sealed packages of pre-cooked corn from Thailand for only $2!!! 1 minute (or so the package says) in the microwave and it's ready to eat! So I sampled my photo prop ... yuck! ... tasteless !!! I'll stick with the corn that's grown locally even if it means waiting until next fall. (Although according to the package best-before date of October 2016, this corn could still be around then!)

The island system exists on a relatively simple formula.
It is the corals that produce sand... which makes the basics of an island.
Trees take root and hold this sand together to form what is classified as 'island'.
Only recently, though, the Authorities have begun to take count.
Nowadays it is 1,200. - As long as there is noticeable vegetation,
and is not submerged at high tide. The average island rises a mere Metre above sea level.

History.
(From the Lonely Lovely Series...)
For Centuries... these islands have been visited only by seagulls or turtles and
the occasional pirate or the shipwrecked Phoenician trader.
Everyone existed, to be happy.
Happy, until the pirates smartened up a little.
They began leaving their sick and the old, together with abandoned loot
and provisions, to be picked up later, on return trips.
This was the start of a painful and long lasting pain.
The following period saw these unwelcome crashers bashing in with the local cuties.
At first it was with the fish (for food), then the corals (for housing),
the trees (for fire/shelter/clothing), the lagoon (for discharging waste)
and the wildlife (for amusement).
A pain that was to follow, and a pain, which the island system, more or less,
learnt to grow with. - Nevertheless, a realistic pain.

Crescent Island, from far North Maldives, recently put up for bid, to be developed
as a 200 bed luxury resort.
The architects had problem finding land space to fill in the necessary infrastructure...
consequently, they resorted to available shallow lagoon.
To be stilted and roomed for the pleasure of paying visitors.
Expect some dramatic changes to this natural look... when you check into this
up-class resort, sometime in Winter 2007.
This was my first time attending and attempting fireworks at Global Fest, which is weird, since I've lived in Calgary for 16 years. It was hard to choose a favourite, but I did like the little starbursts on this one. I learned a bit and made a few notes for going to Global Fest in the future!
