I have 6 kids. Sometimes, they work together to completely destroy our play room. It looks kind of like a tornado ran through the land of imagination, doesn’t it?
“According to most studies, people’s number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you’re better off in the casket than doing the eulogy.” – Jerry Seinfeld
You know what the internet needs more of? Social media.
Thankfully, Google Plus has come to the rescue. Honestly, the mere thought of creating another social media world exhausts me; but, I tend to follow the crowd like a lemming so I set up an account. Now that I’ve had a chance to play around with Google Plus, I thought I’d give you a quick review to highlight the pros and cons as I see them.
I don’t know if you’ve noticed; but, we could use some rain in Amarillo, TX. All this dryness is beginning to put a bit of a strain on our water system. The city is abuzz with talk of water conservation efforts. Our mayor even made a PSA suggesting that we Amarilloans wash our clothes by hand (WOW, by the way). The numbers: Amarillo used around 2 billion gallons of water in May of 2011. That’s 40% more water than we used in May 2010 (source: Globe News article). That’s a lot. I think we can all agree that conservation is important; and, I’m doing my part. For weeks at a time (and purely out of the goodness of my giant green earth-loving heart) my yard goes unwatered and undisturbed by the evil, carbon-infused exhaust of my lawnmower. Anyhow, let’s say that you, unlike me, hate mother earth. Let’s take a different angle on water conservation. Conservation can save you money! How much money does conserving water save you? Glad you asked.
