Post 016 - This really bothers me...

Read this article from Reuters...
China "cancer village" pays ultimate price for growth


In short it is about how an area that used to be an expanse of farmland and small rural villages, is now over run with noxious and cancerous pollution from surrounding factories. Now 1 in 50 people (even children as young as 7) in the area are being diagnosed with various cancers in a place where 30 years ago cancer was unheard of.

It is really sad the extremes people are doing to the environment, and in turn affecting human health.

Post 015 - Random Life Tidbits

(written December 5, 2008)

Blah. I'm bored. I've been cleaning house most of the day, and I really don't want to anymore. So... yay for the internet!

I've been working on some recipe books for various family members for xmas gifts. I need to work some more on them or they're never going to get done before Dec. 25th. Blah. Even when I'm not at work, I'm working on something or other.

This afternoon I will be putting in my resume at DSR, where Greg works. (The CableOne thing, unfortunately, didn't work out.) Hopefully, I'll get the job at DSR. It pays pretty well.

Reading the "Twilight" series again. It's better the second time around. Eventually, I'll go see the movie again with my buddies Stephanie and Jamie from work.

My 22nd birthday is in 9 days. (December 14th)
