We read about Egyptian farming today, very interesting in light of the recent flooding in NOLA. The ancient Egyptians based their whole agriculture on the yearly innundation of the flooding of the Nile, instead of trying to work against it. Of course, their floods were very well planned, really, so to compare it to Katrina is perhaps inappropriate (which Faith noted.)

There was also an aside about bread and beermaking, to which Faith said “If Daddy were here he’d say ‘Did somebody say ‘beer’?'” Ah, she knows him well.
