How are things today? In the UK, the BBC Weather Centre had this odd message on it today:

Sunday 25 January WEATHER WATCH Rain will be slow to clear from southeast England today. Up to 20mm of rain could fall on saturated ground by the end of the day, leading to possible localised flooding Further updates will appear here.

Sunday 25 January FLOOD WARNING There are currently no flood warnings in force across the United Kingdom. Further updates will appear here.

It's the last one: "FLOOD WARNING!!! - none currently." Huh?

Not if we and our countries give a Tao re . I was just checking in - my second biggest pet peeve is the lack of leadership about waters, its eating up of global resources.

It's the same since 1916.
