Yet another Gulf Coast "Dead Zone"

Well, this seems to be a recurring theme...

the more I read about this, the more I find it amazing how science fiction becomes science fact...

when I was "Younger" (I won't tell you how young or how old) I read a book called "Last Gasp" by Trevor Hoyle.

It took me a while to find it...Barnes and Noble didn't even have it listed but Amazon did

http://www.amazon.com/Last-Gasp-Trevor-Hoyle/dp/B000BP77SW/ref=pd_bbs_sr_2/102-3516042-5495302?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1185926030&sr=8-2

It was a pretty good book...can't tell you it was great, but after all these years I did remember it, even if Barnes and Noble didn't, so that has to say a lot...

Basically it was an apocolyptic end of the world type book based on the expansion of these "Dead Zones".

Like I said, it's amazing that a book written in 1983 has the basic premise (excluding the rest of the plot!!!) of the book coming true almost 25 years later...

With all the recalls associated with Chinese products, do you look at the label now to see where a product is made?
