Hashbag #Deltasmeltmakegreatbait
So what's everybody's water bill looking like lately? Mine was $120, due to planting a large vegetable garden and reseeding my lawn with drought resistant fescue (have to water the hell out of it to get it to sprout and take root). It's okay though because 80 percent of my bill is going to agriculture in my garden, and water saving measures don't apply to agriculture, right?
No need to apologize, I was flattered the the LQ would wear my clothing in public.
The way I look at this seal? Had the eco nazis had their way, we would have no Dams and reservoirs. All our rivers would be dry or running at a trickle like they have untold times throughout Earth's history. Mother Nature had no sympathy for the salmon and Steelhead, well, perhaps that's why she made them anadromous. And she certainly didn't care about those pesky baitfish the Delta Smelt which she didn't even allow here until about 3-400 years ago. And the Delta would be just a giant salt marsh. But she must have sensed that the DFG was going to introduce another invasive apex predator to our waters so she guided said baitfish into the Delta to help fulfill the voracious feeding habits of said invasive apex predator. What she didn't foresee at the time was a certain bunch of dumb humans allowing it's population to increase to 40 million people without building the water storage capacity and power generation to support it. She saw her error and has tried to warn us several times in vain, but alas these certain dumb humans continue to put their collective heads in the sand and allow unchecked migration into our state and continue to block any reasonable water and power infrastructure to be built. And to add insult to injury, the certain dumb humans still want to tear down Dams and drain reservoirs, and spend billions building trains to nowhere.
All of us must conserve water, including agriculture. But judging by what I see and the typical "It's everyone elses problem but mine" so prevalent in Cali, if we don't get rain, and lots of it, we will come hell to pay and those certain dumb humans will reap what they sowed...
