I have seen a few of you write about how Akron is working to re-invent itself a bit...keep in mind that this area WILL make a powerful comeback in years to come...why you ask?...very simple...WATER!!...the states that surround the Great Lakes have created a consortium and have put through legislation that has already made it through the House of Representatives in order to keep the water for these states...other areas of the country are already experiencing drought, just ask parts of California, Arizona, Georgia, and Tennesse...
..
As people have moved to these areas in search of a better climate useage issues have outpaced the infrastructure and natural resources...a few of these areas need their water trucked in daily...there are even law suits over what state has the rights to rivers, etc...for instance, who owns the water rights, is it where the river originates, or where most of it flows, or even where it ends...??(this is mainly in the summer months)...once again water will be THEE resource that puts this area back on the map...much like the canal days when water helped bring industry to the area, the Great Lakes will be at it again providing new "industry" for the area.
Remember, you heard it here first...

Props to Mr. Loman for reminding us of such an important point. You cannot understate the point he made, and well said too!
We will see the benefits of the water source close up in Cleveland, next time...
Actually, I heard it in AP US first. Mrs. Mitchell has a rather interesting way of describing the phenomenon.
However, certainly a very valid and important point you've made Mr. Loman. The people out there would be happy to buy our water. They all look rather shriveled up and dry.
The water is a very valuable asset to us.
Just check out Quantum Solace, the newest James Bond movie... all about the water!
Ashlet and I saw that over the weekend. It was stupid.
90% of the movie consists of explosions and violence without a purpose. We found ourselves asking asking ourselves what was happening because there was no plot and the sequence of events was hard follow.
"Just check out Quantum (of) Solace, the newest James Bond movie. It is all about water!"
I know nothing about this movie, but I want to give great big props to the Sethnas for their efforts in responding to other blogs, and for going back to each multiple times. If we all did this, the dialogue would be great.
By the way, what we will experience Monday in Cleveland is once-in-a-lifetime kind of stuff. I can't wait!
