North Carolina Drought Information

I just became aware of a website with North Carolina drought information.

http://www.ncdrought.org

It is filled with information about current drought conditions. But more importantly, it contains information about water conservation tips:

We all need to do our part in order to save this economically and environmentally important resource.

Some tips that I follow:

Tip #1: Use indoor water wisely...Turn off water while lathering, shampooing, shaving and brushing your teeth. (I have started practicing this. Not as much an inconvenience as you might think).

Tip #2: Use dry cleanup methods...Use a broom instead of a hose to wash away debris on your sidewalks and driveways. (I have always done this. Much easier to grab a broom than a hose).

Introduction to Fish, Fitness, Family

Blogs are everywhere! It is a technology that allows information to be published more timely. When I find new information that may be useful to you, I can publish it on the blog immediately.

With newsletters, I often wait for a few articles of interest before I publish the newsletter. The newsletter will still be published for now as needed. I understand that not all people are as wired as others. But more and more we are headed that way. I did not want to be left behind. I did not want you to be left behind.

Also as budgets get tightened, mailings may be limited. To access this blog will be free as long as you have internet access. If you don't have internet access, public libraries do. Maybe you can even ask a family member or neighbor.

In addition to work-related fish blogs, I will add a little more personal blogs about my life (family) and lifestyle (fitness). You will find I enjoy riding my bike as much as I did when I was a little girl. I also will share family stories to keep my family and others who are interested informed. I love my life and don't mind sharing a little bit.

So here's to blogging! A new venture for both of us!!
