Today, I learned that 97% of the earth's water is salty. And 2.8% is fresh and of that 2.8% 75% is ice (glaciers) and of the remaining 25% (of the 2.8%)--oh, damn...something!~ Anyway, I learned that there is precious little water but I also KNOW that human beings have been around for a long freaking time, so, no worries. Plus, Canada is always willing to help us out, right?
I also learned that a Romantic view of life (one I've held onto until just today) is retarded.

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
