A House On An Island
Ever since I was a child, I wanted to live on an island, but if I must believe all these rumors about global warming, all islands will soon be joining Atlantis at the bottom of the ocean. Maybe I should buy a house on a hill next to the coastline. If those guys are right, I shall be on an island soon enough.
But I will require a sort of a time frame; there will be no point in dieing the day after my hill became an island. There are so many things to consider. I will want to build a jetty at the right spot for when the water finally arrives. Who knows, I may win the lotto before then and may need a place to park my yacht.
And maybe a bridge to connect my island to the mainland. It will be much easier to build it before the water arrives, but I will need to know the eventual level of the sea. It is ok if the people laugh at me. I read about a fellow who build a massive boat on dry ground, very far from any significant body of water. The people laughed at him, but his boat sailed.
I wonder how the rising oceans will affect the climate. I want to live on a tropical island, not an arctic wasteland. Eish, so many ifs and buts, maybe I must scrap the whole idea.
Stay loose, it is weekend!!

So say I too. Man has no part in global heating. We're coming out of an ice age and and at some stage in the far future we will return to it. That cycle will repeat as long as the earth exists.
whatever happened to that saying " even if you're the last woman on earth" ?
are we going to be that desperate...is it going to be our duty to save and preserve the species?
Let's not go into that details, shall we?
Please don't make haste to discard the idea.
I will pray for you. You know my well wish always comes true.
Have a nice weekend!
Edgar Cayce predicted that around the time of new millennium, the Great Lakes were suppose to drain into the Gulf of Mexico. Of course, residing in Michigan (which has its land masses defined by the Great Lakes) does not sound like the best place to be living right about now.
Then you must start praying that I win the lotto. I can do with that 100 foot yacht, even though I don't live on an island. Living on a peninsula as I currently do, will have to suffice until the water finally arrive.
I live on a little hill and my house stands at an altitude of 206 ft above sea level. They say the water will eventually rise by 215 feet, so the bottom floor will be unusable, but I can live on the top floor. The other houses around me will only have their rooftops sticking out. So I will have my island in 20,000 years from now.
