That was... Beautiful. And I don't know what to say, honestly. I just came here to post about Mitt Romney's comments about the 47% of people who, the polls show, will likely be voting for Obama. But that was magnificent.

Anyways...

"There are 47% of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47% who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what."

Chalara fraxinea fungus is spreading through the UK. Everybody needs to be aware of the signs and checking trees that they might have in their gardens. It is now listed as a quarantine pathogen and the forestry commission is issuing guidance on identification and what to do if you see signs. It's going to be increasingly difficult to spot affected trees with the leaves falling at the moment. It has reportedly wiped out a significant amount of trees in Denmark.

I personally agree with Tim who comments in the beginning of the above article. They shouldn't have continued to import when the disease was discovered in Europe.

I don't know much yet, there is a thought decision being made (but I never liked Politics so I don't care). I do hope at least that this year the drought will be over (it's been too hot during the summer that makes the hurricanes needed, their rainbands mainly). Anyway politics are too complicated, my motto is "if it won't bother me then I don't care what they do," the government can do what they like, it just better not interupt anything I do...

I also will be graduating High School this year, I'm so nervious since I have to do Senior Project.
