We should really be pumping waste water that has received secondary treatment inland and let the land filter it, rather than putting it into the ocean.
]]>The water restrictions were ratcheted up to the next level here, 150liters of water per day per person. The worst part is that the water treatment plants can’t deal effectively with the bad water that’s coming from the low water level dams and reservoirs now. Gastro problems are increasing because of bacteria in the water and we have to boil the water to drink to be sure it’s safe. I’ve had two gastro bugs in six months. I can’t afford to buy 3 or 4 liters of water a day. We are installing a proper filter system, but the good ones to stop bacteria etc are expensive. Oh well… so is hospital. What a choice. 🙂
We can but hope that sanity may prevail over greed and that something effective will be done to fix these problems. 😉
]]>I get really annoyed that people don’t seem to pay attention to why things aren’t getting done.
]]>Please rant. I wish more would. Maybe one of those bozo’s in tomato town will actually hear.
]]>Sorry for the rant, but I have family who live in SoCal, and this is really messing their lives up, as it affects everyone in the state.
Enjoy your weather change and have a joyous holiday.
]]>A very merry holiday to you and yours, Steve.
]]>I inherited (from my grandmother or great aunt, I don’t remember which) a tiny book, perhaps 2″ by 2″, called “A Child’s Bijou,” containing, among other things, the earliest version I’ve ever seen of that poem… sometime in the 1860s, I believe. The book is missing its cover, so it has no antique value, but its intrinsic value is immeasurable to me.
Merry Christmas, Bryan. And may 2009 be a better year for us all.
]]>Well, you can use the rain if it turns to snow at higher elevations and helps with the drought.
