The other night I had a dream, well, a lot of nights I have dreams, but this one stuck out to me.
In my dream there was a barracuda in the water and it was destroying all of the wildlife. Everyone was really upset about it and we knew that eventually it would come up through our sink drains and attack us as well. Dolly Parton tried to fight it and it was chasing her underwater while she was yelling at it (she's a really good yeller), for some reason she was wearing a black wig and it pulled her wig off. I guess that made her really mad because then she just turned around and stared at it and it stopped. Then she started chopping it with an ax and it was now made out of some type of metal.
When I woke up I realized the barracuda was the BP oil spill.

Multimedia Monday: PSA-Water
I've actually been meaning to write about the water crisis for several months, but have put it off repeatedly. Today I found this video on Virb°, it's a public service announcement from Charity:Water, that puts everyday Americans in the situation (to an extent, that is) that many in Africa face daily; it pushed me to make this Multimedia Monday's post on water. (If you're viewing this post in a feed reader, click over to see the video.)
Other videos, photos, and media on the Charity:Water website are worth your time as well.
One of the things that I wanted to post when I originally decided to post about the water crisis was this photo essay from TIME, which includes photographs from the book Blue Planet Run: The Race to Provide Safe Drinking Water to the World. Right now you can download the book for free, in pdf form, from that Amazon page. Though, if you can afford to, you can purchase the book from Charity:Water and $70 of the purchase goes to the charity.
While Charity:Water is a great organization, I know more, and feel more strongly about giving to Blood:Water Mission (yes, the charity started by members of Jars of Clay). Blood:Water exists to provide sustainable water sources in Africa by building wells with emphasis on reducing the HIV and AIDS epidemic. Check out the site for information on what they've already done, what they're doing now, and how you can help.
