October 11

Not a lot new going on around here. Well, I guess we do have quite a bit of new carbon dioxide hanging around. Now, as well as while I slept, my body continues to suck in oxygen and blow out new, to the environment, carbon dioxide. In every twenty four hour period of regular living, a person sucks and blows, on an average, over 28,800 times. Most without any effort or thought. Amazing isn't it. I'm thinking about it now and I'm just as thankful as I can be for all the friends and relatives out there who are still sucking and blowing.

We're all still taking it in and blowing it out, doing our part in helping the trees grow. To show us their thankfulness they return the favor by kicking back to us new oxygen. It seems everything runs in a cycle of some sort.

The average adult at rest inhales and exhales something like about one-fourth of a cubic foot of air per minute. That totals something like 2,800 cubic feet in a day.
The air that is inhaled is about 20-percent oxygen, unless you're in or near a nasty city, and the air that is exhaled is about 15-percent oxygen, so about 5-percent of the volume of air is consumed in each breath and converted to carbon dioxide. Therefore, a human being uses about 150 cubic feet of pure oxygen per day.
It’s a simple and indisputable Fact that Oxygen is necessary to sustain a Healthy life! Clinical studies show that a human being can live for days without water, and weeks without food but without Oxygen biological death begins to occur within three minutes. Oxygen is the miraculous element that permits life to exist and flourish on earth!

You do know that trees grow twice as fast in or very near a nasty city? I guess there is a lot more people sucking and blowing there. Lots of automobiles and the like contribute too, I suspect.

Nope, nothing to say again this morning.
