Noah's Vineyard
Nearly every culture and ntion hs a flood story, including now the Untied Distates with the recent sinking of not Atlantis or Antlantic Sin City, but New Orleans. Of course, we all know the Prohpets of Doom foretold it long ago with the irresponsible jumping and floooding of Mississippi and the unpredictable whiplash of hurricanes, but even so we should consider whether the truly disadvantaged are really far better off without their cargo and animals. In comparison, Noah had a much easier time of it as he landed on high ground with several companionable animals including his lovable and esteemable St Bernard with a handy barrel of fine Benedictine. However, that's not what the highbrows think... or say.

Sleeping Lady Divers
Sleeping Lady Divers is a unique diving operation in pristine waters that few divers have visited because it is somewhat off the beaten path. However that remains one of its attractions. The other islands of FSM are touched on, Yap only briefly because it is the venue for an article of its own. In addition the independent state of Palau receives a fair share of attention.

Hurricane Opportunities
Hurricane Katrina and hurricane Rita present a major set of issues and opportunities for low income rural communities all over North America. For those directly in the hurricane path, the danger, the damage and the recovery are as much challenges to pride, self esteem, personal identity and community order as they are to buildings, land and infra-structure. For the rest of us, there are responsibilities and opportunities to help the stricken communities and to learn from the disasters.
