You guys see how much of the Rice crop was lost in Cal. last year due to drought? I saw 25% on a .gov site. I'm not going to go fish out the link) Since it's a $5 billion crop, that represents $1.25 BBBBBillion BBBBucks.
Wow, I think more of those folks (predominatly north of Sacramento) are shifting into Olives as it's a tree more in tune with dry hot weather.

Some impressive waterfalls coming off Hammer Dome DMT. Maybe Salt Springs Reservoir gained several inches.

Yeah DMT I know the reservoir is upstream, but unless it was a very localized downpour the topography allows similar rainfall to largely drain into the pond. That last pic; the domes below Bear River Reservoir?

ground will soak up rain like a dry sponge,
but looks like a killer flood year on the way, LA cars burried in mud,
build it, dam it, and levees too, maybe a peripharalial canal while your at it,
look for 250,000 cfs on the S Fork American, probably around Dec 29th, meanwhile, get out the metal detectors and pull out fishing lures,
anybody get the TeePee pic? like go Nomadic, follow the water,
or was that too cryptic?

Nice article in the LA Times today about water scofflaws - the Oakland Athletics' exec Billy
Beane has been using 6000 gallons a day for yonks!

Why is that a big deal, but a tract of new houses - each one using an average of 360 gallons/day - isn't news?
I can point to several tracts of new houses, all started since we were asked to conserve water, going in all over the place around here.
If there's enough water for KB Homes and Lewis Homes to buy-low-sell-high-f*#k-over-the-landscape-and-move-to-the-next-project, why should the L.A. Times care about that one joker in Oakland?

Well, Chaz, cause he has lots of like-minded company. Some butthole in Beverly Hills has
been using 12,000 gallons per day! That should be at least a misdemeanor, if not worse!
