View From the Bushes

I thought that my link to an article on how environmentalists will have to change their minds on a bunch of issues might spark some comments. I had hoped (foolishly) that the news that it was my 500th blog entry might generate a remark or two, but apparently the main appeal of my blog is stories about children vomiting. You cannot imagine how much this depresses me...

The big problem is that as far as things of that nature, not much happened. I mean, sure, one of my kids looked like he was going to puke for a while on the way home from SeaWorld, but that's so common as to basically be unremarkable (I think it was too much time in the sun combined with too much driving). I guess the most humorous thing that my kids did was comment on every cigarette they saw. Actually it was mostly just my number one son (the same one who looked like he was going to puke). I guess he doesn't see a lot of cigarettes normally. And then of course, there was the guy in the pool with us one night who had a cigar, and my son wanted me to explain the difference. Mostly I was just focused on keeping my kids from splashing him with water -- the guy looked like an ex-Navy SEAL.

Other than that, I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things after my vacation. One of the things I really, really, really, really need to do is exercise. Speaking of which, they just published an interesting study on the dangers of drinking too much water. I knew you could develop hyponatremia that way, but I thought it was only a problem if you drank just water, that sport drinks would keep you safe, but they didn't make any distiction in the article, mentioning that the people in the Boston Marathon study drank water and sports drinks. Not something I have to worry about; I think I'd have to exercise first before I'd be in danger.
