Danny L. Newton br> Cookeville, Tennessee /p> p> Once again another biofuels discussion with water simply left out of the equation. Hello? It has taken millions of years to fill the huge aquifers that crops now sit over and consume, yet are being pumped with more and more wells. People and animals also need water from time to time and cities don't necessarily have a river or lake nearby constantly supplied by rainwater or snowmelt. Doesn't anyone remember the Dust Bowl? Before wells and pumps existed, the 'breadbasket' was plowed under and the settlers simply hoped rain would water the crops. Here in the west, a water war has gone on for a century and a severe drought has intensified it. Once the water is gone, fuel will be the least of our worries. br> -- Russell Ready /p> p> BOYS WILL BE BOYS br> Re: Lawrence Henry's How Little Boys Eat : /p>

Trouble with Joe's breakfast? Go to Trader Joe's -- frozen food aisle, breakfast section. Get Frozen steel cut (already cooked) oatmeal, two servings to a box Microwave for 3 minutes. Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a scatter of blueberries. Have one, yourself, Larry. That scoop of ice cream gives hot cereal a summery touch. It also cools the cereal down and nobody is late to school.

p>Steel cut is yummy and crunchy -- not gooey and gluey. My six year old grandson approves.
