Here, around the country and the world, nature has played topsy-turvy with the weather. Lack of rain has turned the Mid West into a dust bowl killing crops and obliterating streams and rivers. Even the great Mississippi has been reduced to a dusty "road" which has curtailed river traffic and commerce. How do we deal with it?
Some people in St. Louis have come up with the solution to stop human and natural abuse of the environment.
On one of the hottest, three digit days this summer, they organized "The World Naked Bike Ride." People were invited to turn off the air conditioners, and "come as bare as they dared to protest our dependence on oil." Some decorated their bikes. Some wore outrageous hats. All looked as if they were having a good time.
As serious as environmental concerns are, it did seem to me these folks may be onto something. Maybe "The World Naked Bike Ride" could really take hold.
