Must be getting "BAD" - need rain

[Ziggy]

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.

It in fact is a reservoir vs a lake. Man made water storage facility. When sufficient runoff is available the levels stay high and within a handfull of feet. Drought conditions that we are experiencing has sucked many reservoirs dry.
On the bright side, Grads had several cool paddleboard trips he documented here on stuff he found at the bottom of Folsom as the level dropped.


From my POS T-mobile thingie

Oh boy, u just opened a can of worms, LOL!!

Oh well... you know the pilgrims taught the native americans how to plant corn for themselves to EAT, you'd think somebody in SOCAL could teach someone to build a reserviour for themselves to SAVE WATER!!!!

I know that would be too EASY!!!

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?

Hey, Einstien. You may know how to build an engine but you know nothing about farming! That isn't a rice field

Interesting. UC San Diego say it is. It may not be Northern California, but it is pretty much grown the same around the world. In a fucking swap.

Laughing at the traffic report on the radio this morning. Learn to drive in the rain people! Glad I don't work downtown anymore where I have to take all those freeways. Rain means train day.

Looks like Gradsville was getting rain yesterday/night.

3 accidents on my way to the gym this morning. It was dumping rain the whole way.
Passed a nasty accident on the 10 that had east bound shut down in Montclair.
It stopped raining in LB right now though.
