Patriotism along with fortitude built on courage has safe guarded Democracy; Pelosi, Schumer, Biden and Harris make a mockery of Democracy and of the Constitution; written by the most educated and intelligent amongst mortals. If allowed, the Democrats will dismantle the constitution to have their Banana Republic wherein their form of law and order will allow illegals to vote, and patriots to be jailed.

Wonder Woman just joined the Justice League.

"I asked an elderly woman once what it was like to be old and to know that the majority of her life was now behind her.

She told me that she has been the same age her entire life. She said the voice inside of her head had never aged. She has always just been the same girl. Her mother's daughter. She had always wondered when she would grow up and be an old woman.

She said she watched her body age and her faculties dull but the person she is inside never got tired. She never aged. She never changed.

Remember, our spirits are eternal. Our souls are forever. The next time you encounter an elderly person, look at them and know they are still a child, just as you are still a child and children will always need love, attention and purpose."

Sewage is either treated by established standards or a stream dies with all acquatic life destroyed. Once this happens the stream carries disease only!

Today is Drinking Water and Wastewater Professionals Appreciation Day in Virginia! Sanitary sewer service is one of the most important services provided by any local government. We would like to recognize all the hard work DEQ’s wastewater staff does to reduce pollution in Virginia’s waters, providing clean resources for drinking, bathing, and recreation.

In partnership with DEQ, the Mount Rogers Planning District Commission has identified needed upgrades to Southwest Virginia’s development, operation, and maintenance of public wastewater collection, treatment, and disposal infrastructure. Meeting and overcoming those challenges is essential to the future of the region.

Over the years, DEQ has authorized funding of over $141 million in matching grants for stormwater best management practices, over $1 billion in grants for nutrient removal technology upgrades, and over $4.3 billion in loans for clean water infrastructure.

Need help starting a project to improve wastewater quality? DEQ is accepting applications for Virginia Clean Water Revolving Loan Funding through July 28. Learn more here: https://fal.cn/3zxfk

In addition to producing oxygen, removing pollution and providing raw materials, medicine, wildlife shelter, windbreaks and flood control consider these facts!

. Planting one single native tree in an open field can increase bird species population from zero up to 80.

. Trees aid in storage of water preventing drought, flooding and will slow wind storms reducing damage in developments.

. Trees communicate with each other via wireless and underground internet by warning nearby trees of insect infestation via airborne chemical signals and sharing nutrients and information with each other using symbionic relationships with fungi in the soil.

. Some tree roots are only 18 inches in depth but can grow hundreds of miles laterally (oak) while others can reach depths of 20 feet or more (walnut, pine and hickory).

. Trees keep records of climate and environmental changes through history in their rings.

. Tenets of kindly spirits live in trees and can be awakened for protection. "Knock on wood" NOW YOU KNOW

. The colors of fall are in the leaves throughout the year when on the tree and even though e cannot see them they make their debut when the amount of sunlight decreases in autumn.
