i am not laughing at all... i am storing up some things here, but the best advice i've heard, for me at least, is to store things that you would normally use anyway... we drink tons of bottled water, so i know we would use it... i am not going to be unprepared, and yet at the same time i do not want to be over-prepared either... in nite at 36 1/2, probably just for the afternoon... hoping vol will pick up a bit after lunch...

Tim, You are very correct, imo. Water WILL BE the commodity of the next century. There was an article on the Washington Post on this issue last week. Canada has 20% of the worlds fresh water and conserves it like there is no tomorrow. Will not commit any of these reserves to the US. They know they are sitting on a gold mine (literally). I am a hydrogeologist (15 years of experience) and I work with groundwater day in and day out. I also live in the 3rd fastest growing county in the country (Loudoun Co. VA). Let me tell you - people are starting to wake up here - water supply is THE issue for the development debate. Aside from my core business, though, I have not been able to pinpoint exactly how to capitalize on this fact - and believe me it is a FACT. Like watching a train wreck in slow motion. Maybe desalination companies will prosper. Are we going to be looking at water utilities / deregulation / consolidation - I don't know - I'm just a lowly geologist... Eric
