So maybe that's the reason for the increase in aridity.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Just waiting for elections now, I think, Jane... waiting...</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34600938/7713028213679545438/comments/default/1519185256256607273'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34600938/7713028213679545438/comments/default/1519185256256607273'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topics192.com/2007/09/crucible-that-zim-is.html?showComment=1190753400000#c1519185256256607273' title=''/><author><name>shona tiger</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08297941203424622693</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03262873942693769893'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://topics192.com/2007/09/crucible-that-zim-is.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34600938.post-7713028213679545438' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34600938/posts/default/7713028213679545438' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34600938.post-4203612763695384902</id><published>2007-09-18T16:55:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-18T16:55:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Shona!

Write more when you can, be lazy later, when things have calmed down in your country (soon I hope), I want to hear from you as regularly as possible.&lt;BR/&gt; &lt;BR/&gt;Water is a problem in so many places,  with droughts making the situation catastrophic very quickly. I live in a fairly wet area, so I have to think to realize the problem so many people deal with daily. Having just reread &lt;I&gt;Dune&lt;/I&gt; by Frank Herbert, it does sink in a bit more.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;May you have wonderful rain soon, and relief in the marketplaces.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34600938/7713028213679545438/comments/default/4203612763695384902'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34600938/7713028213679545438/comments/default/4203612763695384902'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://topics192.com/2007/09/crucible-that-zim-is.html?showComment=1190159700000#c4203612763695384902' title=''/><author><name>Jane</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15706170560635876906</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='12038264765956610187'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://topics192.com/2007/09/crucible-that-zim-is.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34600938.post-7713028213679545438' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/34600938/posts/default/7713028213679545438' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
