| 97% of the world's water is salty. Of the 3% remaining, most is contaminated. One can lay claim to the idea that we can put anything in our bodies and it's ok, but scripture says that a lack of knowledge destroys a people. All throughout history societies have crumbled and people have suffered by water-borne ailments. One can bask in the filth he eats, but when it comes to good drinking water, it isn't good unless it's clean. Flowing water doesn't=clean and don't be deceived by its looks. It might be clear, but it can contain a thriving population of harmful viruses and bacteria and then on the other hand, just because a water is green it doesn't mean it's bad for you. If you are still convinced that water treatment is useless, then we can talk later.
What do we do to your water? Should I tell you? It may make you toss and turn in your sleep. Oh well!
Jimmy is a Water molecule. He has a nasty assortment of friends ranging from various classes of dirt, grit, viruses, bacteria, fish, multiple types of plankton, and various sorts of compounds that give Jimmy nasty taste and odor problems. We in the water field know how corrupt company corrupts good morals. You could consider us defenders of peace, seeking to stomp out evil. For starters, those fish are stopped at the intake by screens. Much of his dirt friends as well as grit can't keep up and usually wind up sinking down into the basins. A chlorine pre-treatment kills a good many viruses, bacteria, and algae. Sadly that is not enough, for the source water was quite raw indeed. We then add new chemicals known as coagulants. Depending on the source water, the water's pH, temperature, and various other factors, a certain coagulant is used and is quickly dispersed into the water by a flash mixer. Alum (AlK(SO4)2·12H2O) is a commonly used coagulant. It's job is to attach itself to the various compounds to form denser, bulkier clumps known as flocs. Coagulant aids (polymers) are used in small amounts to make the flocs stronger and less able to break apart. In a process called flocculation, the water is gently churned, providing more contact time, making the flocs come together. This brings us to the Sedimentation Basin where the water gently flows. At this point, Jimmy's friends have been tied up and joined and can no longer continue with Jimmy, but sink to the depths of the basin. Jimmy, however is not free yet. The lighter ones laugh at the Operators and continue. After possibly 15 minutes, Jimmy and his friends hit a filter. This filter is made of several feet of Sand and Anthracite. Jimmy and fellow water molecules pass through with ease but most of Jimmy's remaining friends are caught by the sand and anthracite. Sometimes friendly polymers are used to help in this process. After all this the few remaining bad influences are eliminated with Chlorine and possibly such mechanisms as UV machines. Jimmy is now a free molecule left to be with his water molecule friends and happily enters into our life as a free and clean.
Now that you've heard this touching story, it's time for you to take heart and show lawful dominion over the earth. It's not for government to punish those who cause pollution, but God gave us the earth and expects us to treat what He gave us with respect. You can do your part by not dumping harmful compounds into the bay and bring it to designated places. For instance, any medications should NEVER be dumped down the drain, but be taken to designated locations. Many of those medications stay in the water and in order to ensure you get good drinking water, it costs MILLIONS to get it out. Perhaps if you treated your water with respect, you would notice it in cheaper water bills. Proper dominion has many rewards, but curses will come with disrespect. God be with you all.

| To make a long story short, the case was dismissed. Here's the long story.
Matthew and I drove over to the Walnut Creek Superior Court. We were happy to find parking and were managing to have fun even in such a grim place. We actually thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the court room hearing other cases. I was hoping that my officer was not going to show up, but he came after all. My heart jumped and I nodded in greeting. Matthew and I sat and waited for my name to be called, while hearing a very good case by an older man about his seat belt system and some poor attempts from others. One case was hilarious, where the cop went on and on about how the guy was speeding and named lists and lists of qualifications and was going on and on about his equipment and finally the judge looked at the man on trial and asked if he had any questions or a statement. He just said, "I was hoping the cop wouldn't show up..." haha, priceless. Then came the moment of truth. My name was called and they didn't call me Michelle this time. Matthew and I came forward, Matthew being a witness. The cop basically orated what he said in the police report, but told the judge he had no witnesses and wasn't a witness, when asked. The Judge looked at me and said "You have two options. You can plead guilty or I can dismiss the case." I was panic struck and shaking already and didn't udnerstand what he meant. I thought he was saying I was guilty no matter what I said and answered "Can't I say my statement...?". The Judge stared at me and basically said "I don't want to hear your statement, either say you are guilty or I will dismiss the case." I answered "Well, I'm not guilty..." and so the Judge dismissed the case. I only later realized how stupid I was. Since there were no witnesses against me, the case couldn't go through and praise God for that! Matthew was bummed, because he was prepared to make a strong defense on my behalf (God bless him). I was very pleased that the case was dismissed, but believe we could have made a good case even if there were opposing witnesses. This means I was not found guilty for a code violation, but sadly this does not decide the outcome of the accident. I'm not sure if a conclusion has been found with that. My insurance basically says its probably going to raise my rates either way. Bah. Thankyou all for your prayers. The Lord is merciful. God bless!

| Hello all you xangites. I forgot this place existed. Maybe you forgot I existed. Maybe I forgot I existed. But lets not get ahead of ourselves. As you may all know, I am a hobbit. We eat quite frequently and our stomachs have a high standing in the central nervous system, bossing the rest of the body around. As of present I am hungry... I'm not big on mushrooms. They taste ok, but just recapture that mental image. You take a mushroom and bite and it just doesn't chew right. Was fungi meant to be eaten?
    
mm, mm, good.
I had to sell my baby..  My little 2000 Toyota Tacoma and I had to split ways when I noticed that gas isn't cheap and I don't have an income of any kind (except my mommies groceries which I gladly help her consume)
 My baby...
Logically it would do me good to have a car with good gas-mileage, so Lord willing I will be adding this little honda civic to our family very soon.
Does the house come with it? Other than some green slime, a small chip in the windshield, the trashed floor mats, and the lack of backseat room, this car is awesome. 36-38 MPG would be a WONDERFUL change. Let's just stay away from accidents this time around, Mitchell.
So, I was nearing graduation from high school and I was wondering, "Man, what am I going to do after highschool!?  I've been in prison so long, I hardly no what being free is like. Maybe I should do something with my life..." The Career Center lady at school introduced me to water treatment. I thought it sounded boring, but she told me classes were free, paid for by the local treatment plants, and there was a need for operators. Also, the starting income was 60K a year... So I decided to join it and I coerced my friend Matthew (oh no, I said your name. Now all the predators of the world will stalk you and you will never again get a moment's rest) to join me in the classes and we took two courses in the fall semester and now two in the spring. We have been seeking employment in the Wastewater field to no avail, but half the operators are expected to retire in the next 4 years. (hurry up!)  . I am now seeking certification in both Water side and wastewaterside and am shooting for an A.S. degree. (yay for free classes!) My two loves (subjectwise) are history and chemistry. I can meet my chemistry love now, but someday, my history love will take me by force. I'm thinking of working in this field for maybe 10 years or so and then switching to writing books or something. (If I could somehow convince people read my rubbish, hoho  )
 
Both fields in a nutshell. Curious to hear how to treat water? I assure you it is just as amazing and glamorous as it sounds and I will let little Jimmy the water molecule show you that next time...

| Spanglers Part 6
The hobbit awoke, yet again and joined
the party at breakfast. He gained self control and withstood the
temptations of the hot sauce. (Yay!) The hobbit and Joel went off and
stacked wood and helped in setting up the Summer furniture. The group
loaded the van, we said our goodbyes, and went off. The Hobbit took
Joel with him... oh, forgot to mention. The Hobbit's mother heard his exploits and sent him to cut all the wood in their backyard and to have it stacked... a very long task, especially without the gas-powered splitter...
The Cough Sputter Cough tale...
The Hobbit required assistance and
decided to claim Joel for the weekend. Together they managed to make
an inventory of the blibbity blue valuables. It was a long and
grueling process and the hobbit was happy to have Joel join him on
set-up at church. (I consider it a promotion. From assignment calling
to setting up. ) The Hobbit brought Joel to the library where his dad
gathered Joel and Amy and headed off to the distant land of
Elderdude.
Everyday life...
The Hobbit saw it in his best interests
to collect pennies. He did this in a process called “Bank Robbing”.
He would buy $20 of pennies and would sort out the the coppers and
keep them, while sending his zincs to an unfortunate bank of choice.
The lucky number is 1982  . The hobbit visited his dad and took part
in singing hymns, reading scripture, and praying. His father yelled
many a time, but there were good moments where he knew his dad was
listening and true acknowledged him. God is faithful.
The Game of games!
The Munoz family was quite gracious in
inviting the Hobbit, the Ch boys and 3 Co boys to join Alexis in
watching the game of games. It was a typical game until the A's
starting hitting doubles and triples, beating the tar out of the
Angels. The A's pitcher gave strikeout after strikeout and the A's
hitters scored 9 points beating the Angels 9-2. After such a glorious
victory, Javert treated everyone to a good spot on the field for an
excellent view of the fireworks, the best firework show the Hobbit
every laid eyes on. Afterword, the team split up and the Hobbit got
ready for another big day...
Preparation for the Real world...
Master Brink and Master Munoz trained
the hobbit and several other young in building connections and what
and how to establish one's self. They took it to heart and ate a
feast of kings and played the games of kings. The hobbit kidnapped
the Ch boys and brought them to the next destination...
A week from home...
While the Ch boys were given the
important task of watching a home of some friends of theirs, the
Hobbit found it to be a good opportunity to torment them, dropping in
each day. They embarked on a 3-day game of Axis and Allies where the
Hobbit held off the numerous German soldiers of Joel as Russia until
Joel's combined efforts of the pesky Japanese and Germans annihilated
the Ruskies. Of course, these manuevers allowed America and Britain
(under Josh's command) to take Germany and Japan. The Lord laughed in
the face of the Allies and allowed the Japanese and Germans to roll
very low number, which swept the Americans and Britons out of the
way, forcing the exhausted Allies to surrender. Oh my... Aside from
that, Joel and the Hobbit planned the Yosemite trip and Mrs. Ch,
Joel, and the Hobbit's mom got everything settled. The hobbit joined
the Ch boys in watching the new Batman movie and found it to be a
very good movie, but all thought the first movie was better.
Yosemite...
The Hobbit, his mom, sleepless hacker,
and Joel went off Yosemite and found a good spot to camp. They
embarked on the famed Half Dome hike (17 miles round trip) the next
day (The hobbit's 5th time, but 4th with the
church) and were joined by Mr. E and Mr. R, who decided to drive up
for a day. It was a long and grueling hike and the Hobbit was in
terrible pain by the end! (He was so out of shape). Somehow Mr. E and
Mr. R managed to drive home and the others ventured back to camp and
sleeped many hours... The next day they sat around, doing little.
They visited the Village and shopped and returned to camp to play
games. The next day the team took on Yosemite Falls, a shorter, but
just as grueling hike that took place under the hot sun! It was nice
to find pools of water on the top... the team returned to camp and
left the following day.
Side Story
The way to Yosemite and the way back
were treacherous with winding roads and the like. We took my truck
and tied everything down with a tarp. Unfortunately, it came loose a
few times and we lost some things! Whoops?
WCWC 2008
With no time to rest, the hobbit and
sleepless hacker took on WCWC. They joined their good friends for the
ultimate conference. The Hobbit's 4th WCWC trip was
probably his favorite in many ways: very good speakers, seemed able
to absorb more, extra maturity helped, and the feeling of the place.
It's hard to explain... The Hobbit heard excellent lectures from Gary
DeMar about how to debate and interpret scripture and a correct view
of eschatology. Pastor Miller spoke on the Wisdom literature and the
importance of it as well as highlighting key points that we should
keep to heart and showing us the trends and the order behind the
works. Pastor Eidsmoe spoke on the history of Islam, the Crusades,
warfare between the Germans and Romans, and in depth signs of a
christian worldview as well as the scriptural stance against
abortion. Pastor Morecraft spoke on the history of the Reformation
from its very roots with the English history, the Irish saving
Christianity, the translations of the bible and about our good old
pals Luther and Calvin. Very powerful history. Pastor Rushdoony spoke
on system of government, speaking on God;s law and the faults of
Humanism. Excellent speeches. On top of that, we danced, we played
sports, we ate the good, the bad, and the ugly, we debated, some
(including the hobbit) spent many a time on the computer, some
(including the hobbit) played poker, and we ended with a talent show.
There was an excellent show talent including a girl who made very
interesting noises, several very good vocalists, an awesome couple of
skits concerning a humorous playing following two princess seeking
their princesses, the Abshires making fun of the speaker, an
excellent guitarist, an interesting remix on Zelda music, and a cool
Shakespearian version of “Who's on First?”. The hobbit decided
tell a story of a Racist dragon, with the help of the excellent
guitarist. We said our goodbyes and so ended one of the greatest of
weeks...
The Beach
To truly end the week with a bang, the
Hobbit joined the Brs, the Trs, and others in a trip to Del Mario.
There they ate and celebrated a little's girl's birthday and fought
the waves at the beach. After hours and hours, the Hobbit and others
were quite exhausted and were ready to leave. Most were sunburned
(except some who somehow defied the sun!!!) and poor, poor number 4
of the Trs... her leg was terribly sunburned and she received a giant
blister and suffered for quite some time with it. They should have
covered her leg when she fell asleep... The Hobbit ate and somehow
managed to make it home.
Return to Home
The hobbit was home. He woke early
after a late night to do set-up at church and fell terribly ill
afterwards and had to return home for the day... He spent a good
amount of time with his dad that week and was so pleased to hear his
dad trying to sing along with the hymns. He truly as improved and a
love for God is seen in him. Praise God. The Hobbit relaxed and
received a disease of some sort. An incredibly sore throat!
A Long Beach Wedding...
The Hobbit embarked on a journey to
Long Beach with his family. The family got a motel in Anaheim and he
joined his sister as a date at a wedding of almost perfect
strangers... he didn't complain, for it was held at an aquarium
(wee!), he happens to like weddings (imagine that), and... free food!
Woo hoo! The hobbit, being a true hobbit took his fill of halibut,
steak, rice, salad, bread and butter, coffee, lemonade, icecream, and
white chocolate. Can't beat that :). Of course, it couldn't end as
good as it started. The hobbit and his sister got lost and after a
long period of time found their motel, but the Hobbit was quite ill
and slept in while his family got a full day at Disneyland. The
Hobbit with his congestion and sore throat woke, ate a wide variety
danishes and ran to meet his family for day 1 of Disneyland.
Disneyland
A half an hour later, the hobbit
arrived and joined his family in going on many excellent rides in the
main part. They cheated by using their Grandma in the wheel chair to
skip lines and get right on the rides. Woo hoo! Splash Mountain,
Indiana Jones, Star Tours, Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, and many
more rides. They ate like kings at a French Restaurant and saw sweet
parades and a firework show. The next day they went to church at the
nondenominational Crystal Cathedral. The Hobbit went in with low
expectations, but found it to be a pretty good church. It was a very
large church and though Arminian, the Hobbit was pleased to hear its
push for strengthening our communities. So true, so true...
Christians were encouraged to spread the Gospel to all with no fear
and push to aid our Christian brothers and sisters... afterward, they
went to California Adventure, went on rides, and they were sad to hear it
closed at 9pm, as opposed to midnight like the main park! They missed
so much, expecting to be able to do it later.
Home Again
The Hobbit healed from his ailments
(mostly) and a doctor assured him that he didn't have strep throat
(praise God). “It was good to go on adventures, but its good to be
home.” The hobbit sat back and wrote in a blog. “There and back
again and there and there and back again, a Hobbit's Tale”
otherwise known as The Long and Grueling Account of the Past three Weeks, (though between you and me, it was probably 4 weeks worth.) Boy am I tired...

| To be honest, I don't know why I waited so long to update. I can barely remember the occurrences and events... oh well, time to improvise ...
The hobbit awoke, as did his stomach... the hot sauce attacked and the hobbit gave up on it, once and for all. Its just one of those things, a delicacy that is best left in small dosages, like Wine or Uranium. The men were given a day off... pretty much. Just a few odd jobs around. A little more chopping and splitting. After which, the boys and girls (and the heavily armed hobbit) sought to annihilate the several tre- I mean targets that stood as very deadly threats. For the sake of avoiding encounters with the FBI, CIA, and mindless drones who wish to prey on the happy, unsuspecting individuals that seek to have fun with guns and the like, (perfectly lawful practices) I will leave out the specifics . Javert, dramadude, Tyler, Hannah, Amy, and BreeAnna joined the hobbit. A slight mix up occureed, where the hobbit accidently loaded Amy up with heavy shotgun rounds. Amy scored a nasty bruise, but boldly kept to it. Joel armed her with some heavy rounds, as well ( sadly intentionally ), but she stood strong through it all. BreeAnna fired up some of the shotgun rounds, (barely reaching the minimum weight requirement, however... she survived, to say the least ). We took down a tree a tree and left a few others badly wounded. "Is this how you show dominion!"
The team came home after finishing the tree-hunting and successfully managed to clean their rifles, (a long process). Joel orgainized the team and Mr. C offered to drive them to the river. All the young folks hopped in the back as Mr. C drove them to a new spot where everyone set out to look for a fish to catch (a tradition of sorts, I suppose). As Amy read about a certain lawyer taking on a deep case, the hobbit rolled around in the water, seeking fish. After man fruitless pursuits, the team sought fish in a low secluded area. There they flipped a rock and found a little baby fish in a sack. That was good enough for them and they headed for the spot where dramadude had started building a dam. It was a group effort and it drew in the attention of all the young folk, even Javert. (Amy's book was far more exciting, I suppose. Ask her about it. It's really good!) The hobbit was eagerly helping until he banged on the wall of the large canyon wall. It sounded... hollow! Foolish thoughts poured into his head "Oh, ho ho. There must be something valuable in this rock. Silver, Gold, Rubies... Rhodium!". To dramadude's dismay, the hobbit picked up a sharp rock and began hammering away at the spot. The rocks he used began to break and chips of the wall gave way. He never did find out if anything was in there, (though a kind of dark substance was produced from the mixture of rock fragments and water...
Once again, I fear the hobbit has lost my interest. Today's center of attraction is Javert. Without his camera to take pictures of the sites and without any watersnakes to chase, Javert was open to join the dramadude in the construction of a great dam. He sought to aid in providing rocks from the canyon wall, better rocks. he climbed and began pulling rocks down, large rocks that aided immensely in the construction. Javert climbed higher and grabbed onto a certain rock that was just perfect... (remember the foreshadowing???). The rock began to come loose and was quite large and weighty. It began to fall, but to Javert's horror, he couldn't get out of the way. It hit his leg and by God's grace, he managed to stay on the wall instead of falling to the rocks below. Dramadude and the others came running to his aid, but Javert managed to help himself down and hobbled to the vehicle, where Mr. C was prepped and ready for lift off. The vehicle traveled on and on through the rivers, but was caught at a bad angle and was stuck. After about an hour of many attempts, Linda and Mary Jane saved the day, hauling the truck out of its spot and allowing the team to bring Javert to the home, where his mother, grandmother, and Angela took him to the hospital...
Amy made some hot dogs and chili for those who remained. It was told that Javert was the first to break any bones. The hobbit, dramadude, BreeAnna, and Hannah played murderer until the noise woke Mr. C. BreeAnna was accidentally injured. They waited until she was in the room then she was pushed into a mattress and was sandwiched in it, but was then launched into into the bars of the staircase. Ouch! That game can get really rowdy....
Javert returned and they said his femur was broken. To the disappointment of all, Javert could not climb Half Dome with his church family. For that reason, his family decided to stay home with him. (It wasn't until a second checkup, however, that they found his femur was badly bruised, not broken. Alas, he was not the first to break a bone... nor last *foreshadow, foreshadow, cough, sputter, cough...*) The Moral of this story is Rock and Roll is both harmful and dangerous.
