TBW Daily Diary

Bob spent much of the day dismantling the courtyard garden. We moved A LOT of leaves into the street . . . hopefully the neighbors will respect the "No Parking" signs and the street cleaner will get the chance to do his job . . . It is a frightening and moving look at the effects of climate change. A small Alaskan island is being inundated by rising water and the government has yet to prevent the erosion or relocate the native population. The 10-minute film now in a German competition can be seen at http://www.dw-world.de/dw/0,2142,266,00.html. On the left click on Video on Demand and when the page comes up, click on Arts 21. The film begins about 13:45 in if you don't want to see the whole program . . . very unsettling. Disaster is perhaps just months away . . . You have just two or three days before the program changes . . .
