Check out my friend David Seagull's awesome tune "Troubled Times." There's also a hilarious skit "My Peonies" on his YouTube channel. I hope to see many more videos from David.

I live in Iowa, but fortunately in a town with no flooding. The article "Iowa flooding could be mans fault, experts say" echos some of my thoughts. Are many natural "disasters" like this actually a result of fighting and resisting nature rather than living in a way that bends like a willow to nature's inevitable changes?
