Flood Water Release

I can't resist passing along another boston.com Bigger Picture picture: floodwaters being released from Three Gorges Dam, from a typically (for boston.com) spectacular set on China.



I really don't know how they keep funding this amazing work, but I sure hope they don't stop.

Buy something from Boston.

    What, the Boston Globe funds Xinhua? Who knew?

    Here are some more pictures of the same event back in July:

    perhaps more significant; laying straw on sand dunes is not going to work to stop them moving.

    one suspects an honest broker must be giving their government advice, as they appear to be doing things that give the appearance of taking responsive action without incurring any actual cost.

    The landslide pictures are also astonishing. Seems they're doing all the same stupid things we did fifty to a hundred years ago in the first rush of overconfident industrialization.

Moderation is on. Apologies for any delays.



Err on the side of politesse and understatement please.
