What's flying around now?
The nuclear catastrophe in the making is upsetting, to say the least. It isn't simply the drift onto humans that worries me. That puts individuals at risk, but my concern is more far reaching than that. Radiation eventually gets into the food supply, settling on plants which are eaten by humans or by cattle or other grazing animals and they are eaten. And so it goes. Yes, radioactive material dissipates, but that's what makes it worse. This is scary stuff.
Wonderful sketch, Barbara. It has been horrible watching everything going on in Japan right now, hasn't it. I feel so bad for them!
ReplyDeleteDemi looks cute and seems to be wondering where all her friends are.
ReplyDeleteWhat surprised me about Chernobyl was that years later when scietists were looking at ground zero there, they found the wildlife and plantlife thriving. They were surprised. It gives me hope.
I should probably limit my CNN time. It's not a situation I can fix and watching too much doesn't keep me informed, it just depresses.
ReplyDeleteTimaree --But the cancer rates have soared in that area for years. I'm not as hopeful as you are.
