WaterWired Hits the Road: South Caucasus Redux
http://aquadoc.typepad.com/waterwired/2008/10/waterwired-hit...invasion. There are still Russian troops in country; they are supposed to be out by 10 October, the day I depart for home. I do know one thing for sure: I doubt we will be taking any field trips, like the one we took last year up the spectacular Georgian Military Highway. That drive, almost to the Russian border (which was closed), was an enjoyable trip, and we skirted the eastern boundary of South Ossetia.

Water Words That Work
http://waterwordsthatwork.comDo people love the water? Yes they do. Do they know a lot about it? No they don’t. And perhaps no poll or focus group illustrates that quite as well as this picture of two party hearty gentlemen who love the water so much that they figured out how to enjoy their electric George Forman grill in the pool. Genius! Click here to see the pic. If you’ve got a suggested headline, write it in the comments area.

WaterWired Caption Contest!
http://aquadoc.typepad.com/waterwired/2008/03/waterwired-cap...I posted this picture on my personal blog Campanastan a few days ago. Eric Eckl over at Water Words That Work suggested a caption contest for it. The photo was sent in by my friend Marty Ennis.
