Anyone who has visited Murmurs on a regular basis know that I do not usually spend much time on current events. However as the events around the Indian Ocean have unfolded it has become difficult for me to write about anything else.
Over 77,000 dead at last count with almost half of the fatalities children. I for one cannot even comprehend a number of that magnitude. 77,000 of anything is a lot but 77,000 deaths is beyond comprehension.
The future of the surviviors is by no means guarenteed. No water, no food and bodies everywhere. Disease is going to run rampant in those areas for several months which in the long run will kill more than the tsunami did.
Finally here in Los Angeles we have had two days of rain with almost six inches falling yesterday. True this is a lot of water for this area but a disaster I do not think so. However today on the local news they were leading with the rain and with a straight face the anchors were discussing the rain as if this was an earthshattering event.
Storm watch.
A tree fell in someones yard.
Traffic was backed up on the freeways.
Someone lost a roof.
A parking structure was flooded.
Please. I was not a big fan of local news before today but after today they are off my list for good. 77,000 people dead and we are supposed to panic because LA got wet.

According to national figures from the USDA in 1999, 36.2 This all depends on our desire that what to eat and in what quantity, what if we have habit of uncontrollably eating or eating several times a day, in such case what can be the solution? You must be thinking of one way to change this habit and that is to keep yourself busy for diverting your mind from food. Isn't it a tough way when there is a very trouble-free and effective solution and that is phentermine- an easy solution for obesity problem.
