In our very own bodies, bacteria keeps us alive by helping us digest food, regulating body chemistry, etc. On the other hand, since bacteria in us is body part specific, if let us say liver bacteria decides to move to the stomach, or to the lungs, then we could die from that. Indeed, if all of the bacteria in our bodies would disappear, that means we would die and then we could not watch Janice on FNC!!!! When cleaning up oil spills, bacteria has been experimented with to clean up the oil sludge from the sea. Have not heard much about it being used recently, however. Thanks for the GE link! Sal Hey, Janice:

I tried to zoom in a little more on the map to reflect the wind advisories from Ventura to Riverside county...winds are over 40 mph right now... How is out there today Tom and Joan?

I wish I could do a good-news forecast everyday! Maybe I should do that here on the blog...

But I just remember in college our biology professor telling us that bigger cities recycled waist what by putting some sorta bacteria into the vat of waist and it breaks down all the bad stuff into ultimately drinkable or at least useable water. Thats probably really simplified but my knowledge is very limited. The best tap water I have had was when we lived in Alaska. Anchorage gets its water from Eklunta Glacier. It was really nice. Here is a website from GE http://www.gewater.com/what_we_do/water_scarcity/water_reuse.jsp Take care everyone =) Mutate is right.

Aside from emergencies and disasters, how is it decided to emphasize the weather of one city over another? Sal Hey, Janice:

Like one of the representatives said-we really don't know how safe the water will be. In the USVI, they desalinate sea water via various filtration systems for the hotels, while many of the homes gather their water in rain barrels (shades of L'il Abner!). David: I agree that our water will always be here, so it can be recycled. I would not favor the recycling of toilet water, but desalination should work well. NY does not recycle toilet water. During a water shortage, then Mayor Koch had authorized the use of Hudson River water with an increase of Fluorides and other treatments for us to drink and mutate. Sal Hey, Janice:

For those of us who live in Apple Valley (aka High Desert but still part of Southern California) could you shrink the map enough to include us in the data when talking about the bad winds. We usually note that we get the winds a bit before they arrive in the lower passes. Sincerely, Tom and Joan Janice,
