							shit like this happens when you let the farmers grow rice in the central valley. 
 
Probably more water in this freek'n field than there is Folsom.  
Notice how they managed to take the picture when it looks like a storm coming to refill the field?? They aren't stupid. They aren't going to take a shot with the sun is blaring and its 105* so you can think WTF?? 
  
 
 
Sam Kinison said it best. Its a desert. You know what grows in a fucking desert? NOTHING! 
So what do we let the farmers do? Grow the one of the highest water demand crops on the world, IN A FUCKING DESERT!!  
Whats next? Sugar cane and pineapples?? 
 
Heres the kicker. 90% of the rice grown in the central valley, is exported to another country. We don't even eat the shit. So we use OUR water to feed some one else. How stupid is that?

 I'm not sure what you mean but yes it actually filled up 28 feet in less than a month. This is a screen shot off of the California Department of Water Resources website.

 With all due respect Bob...  The most rice in the state of CA is actually grown right here in Sacramento which is centrally located but in Northern CAL.  And it is far from a "Fucken Dessert" as you put it. And to use Sam Kinison (one the worlds most renowned stupid comics) as a source for your facts is far beneath even you.... And I'll add this -  who care who eats the shit as long as they are BUYING it from us?, its one of CALIFORNIA's largest cash crops!!! 
 
You live in LA LA land and you take more of our water then the people actually growing something with it to just flush your FRIGGEN toilets.... so you may want to look at your facts a bit closer and see who really uses all that water in FOLSOM Reservoiur because it aint the Folsom residents. Or the areas surrounding it. Ever heard of the CA Aquaduct system????

 I wasn't calling you out, I don't have a clue how big or small the lake is, so i wouldn't know how long it takes to fill back up, our lake back home (LOTO) only fluctuates 4-6 and that's only because the COE lowers it for the Northern snow and Spring rains, it just surprises me that a lake could go up and down that much so fast, that's all i was saying, I'll go back to my corner.
