Just a nice large glass of potable water, please, in memory of those in Haiti, and in tribute to all working to rescue and help survivors. Sorry to bring such a serious note to Thursdays, but the tropical picture brought "island paradise" to mind, and thoughts of Haiti.

How sad is it that, even before the earthquake, there was one - yes, one priest who was well known amongst poor folk simple because he gave away free water.

We take water for granted.
