• 44 Water Wonders
• Adventures of a Water Molecule by
  Jon Kohl
• I dont know what I did wrong, but it must have
  been a doozey. Of all the molecules that I could
  have become, I ended up as water. Instead of the
  stability of quartz or the short-and-sweet
  existence of ethyl alcohol, I cycled round and
  round traveling endlessly from the bottom of the
  ocean to the stratosphere and back again. I
  rained down, evaporated up, flew sideways from
  the mouth of a mammoth to the squirt of a squid.
  Trade winds carried me across oceans and
  continents. The never-ending sojourns spun my
  mind, whipping it frothy with weariness, never
  permitting a moment to stop and contemplate the
  places I have been. Some lucky water molecules
  bounce lightly on the ocean or float calmly in
  the air, but not me ? never a restful
  decade..(complete story found at www.plt.org)
