I was planning to publish a normal load today, but you know what they say about the best laid plans of mice, men and cats.  I normally get up at 4:30 AM on Sunday.  That gives me time to dress, cook breakfast, eat, clean up, collect and lay out my shower supplies, collect and lay out my change of clothes, spend some time on the porcelain throne to unload a few Republicans, do my research for the day, and get a head start on writing, before Wendy arrives at 8:30.  I overslept this morning and awakened at 6:15.  I must need more sleep, as I dozed on the throne in mid-Republican.  I had virtually no time for research, so this is my only article today.<\/font><\/p>\n

Today’s took me 3:07 (average 4:56).  To do it, click here<\/a>.  How did you do?<\/font><\/p>\n

Short Take<\/strong>:<\/font><\/p>\n

From Huffington Post<\/a>: <\/font>The size of oxygen-starved ocean \u201cdead zones<\/a>,\u201d where plants and animals struggle to survive, has increased fourfold around the world, according to a new scientific analysis.<\/p>\n

The growth of the zones is yet another consequence of global warming \u2014 including increasing ocean temperatures \u2014 triggered by greenhouse gases and, closer to the coasts, contamination by agricultural runoff and sewage.<\/p>\n

\u201cRising nutrient loads coupled with climate change \u2014 each resulting from human activities \u2014 are changing ocean biogeochemistry and increasing oxygen consumption,\u201d says the study published in the journal Science<\/a>. Ultimately, such changes are \u201cunsustainable and may result in ecosystem collapses, which ultimately will cause societal and economic harm.\u201d<\/p>\n

I think they should be called Republican zones.  RESIST<\/strong>!!<\/font><\/p>\n
