Thanks, Katie. I thought it important to provide context. I had already thought to divide it into two, perhaps three, but when it reached 1,000 words...so there may ultimately be four in this series.

You know, I think Frank Herbert, in Dune was so right when in that novel, water is that world's most precious commodity. Modern fantasy as a harbinger of reality. The world is definitely heating up and that, and sustainability (not) practices just make it worse.

Yes, when we have something in abundance, it's so easy to take for granted.

The most bor(e)ing bit is in the next episode...🤭

I see I need to do some editing... 🤦‍♀️
