The Descriptive Process

[slowp]

Are you Californians figuring out how to steal our water yet? I believe we are at normal snowpack or soon will be.

Brian & Janie, now you can go for a tent TRAILER or maybe an Airstream? Or something with adequate ventilation? Except I think the latter would only be a house at Astoria.

 

[Gologit]

Yeah. The weather. Last week it was 66 degrees at 6:30 at night. And humid. The days are very sunny. Al Gore screwed up the planet so it doesn't rain anymore and I have to turn on the AC for awhile before going to bed. Bummer, eh?

Have you reduced your water consumption 20% re Gov Moonbeam?

The week before last in our local paper an expert laid out two proposals to help the water situation. (They may not be his original ideas. IDK.) One was to place "straws", large pipes, in the ocean at river mouths to draw in the fresh water discharged by the river and then pump it into the water system. The second proposal is to create a water system beginning in Oregon (or maybe Warshington, I don't remember) that consists of a massive under ground system of pipes connecting to each river. That "wasted" water would be pumped down here to Cali. Yeah!

Have you reduced your water consumption 20% re Gov Moonbeam?

Yeah. I don't have much else I can do or not do. Stop showering? Don't wash clothes? I've already stopped watering the sidewalk.

 

[Metals406]

Yeah. I don't have much else I can do or not do. Stop showering? Don't wash clothes? I've already stopped watering the sidewalk.

Well now your sidewalk is going to dry up and die.

Yeah! Great idea. They have lots of water up there. I've seen it. They could ship the water directly to SoCal so everybody down there could keep their swimming pools full, water their five acre lawns, and keep all those people who like to wash their cars every other day happy.

If they don't want to ship us water maybe they could work up a water extraction plant and squeeze the excess water out of the moss, mold, and mildew that grows everywhere up there. Probably won't cost more than five or six bucks a gallon by the time it hits the end user. That water can go directly to SoCal too.
We'll keep our clean water up here for the farmers. If there's any farmers left after the water allotment cuts of 30 to 50% that is.

Give Moonbeam a call, will ya? He's not doing much these days and he'll probably like the idea.

There was a rumor of an attempt by you folks to pipe/ditch the "wasted" water of the Columbia south. That rumor has been around since the 1970s and maybe even started before.

Every time I talk to the Governor he is playing with his train set and making choo-choo noises.

Our Governor made a little news today himself. Seems the politician who wants to be a national player has such thin skin he couldn't take a little disagreement from a cook at a fine-foods market. Pat announced that he was governor and the man reportedly replied "yeah, thanks for nothing". Pat yelled at him and reported his "rude behavior" to the owner of Reed's Fine Foods. Having heard the governor quite a bit since he was a mayor of Charlotte, I don't think I've ever heard a bigger crybaby that wants to be congressman or senator.

Funny, some of the transplants from SoCal complain that we people of the wetlands "never wash their cars." I did mine last month. So there. The rain washes our cars and dogs except my dog smells like he could use a bit of soap. Nope, no Columbia River for them. Salmon don't do well in swimming pools.

Seems like your transplants stop and spend a few years in our part of the state before they move north. They screw things up as much as they possibly can...I think they're practicing...and then they head for the north country.
You better put extra guards on the border. With our DROUGHT! they're liable to be moving your way in record numbers. Me and some of the other guys will be out on the highway...passing out roadmaps with everything north of Yreka highlighted. Sorry.

I lost faith in him the first time he was governor. Remember when he and Linda Ronstadt went to Africa? And they slept in separate tents? I figured right then that the guy was either clueless or totally unable to recognize an opportunity. And then, years later, we elected him again. Sometimes it's really embarrassing to be from California.

We better leave Moonbeam alone. If this gets sent to the Political threads I'm not going in after it.

lightning hit the trees next to me on the drive home today, still getting lightning all around, and heavy hail...

I'd send it down to Cali for you all but then you would just have to spend your spring putting out the other 1/3...

Send down some snow for the mountains. We're getting tired of listening to the skiers whining and complaining.

 

[Cedarkerf]

Weve gotten a hundred plus inches of snow up here in the past 10 days up in the mountains. The heavy rain today should wash a bunch of Caulifournyaaans back south

 

[northmanlogging]

supposed to snow tomorrow or tonight at my place? As it sits there is about 1-2" of just hail...

Whatever happens as long as it freezes or dries out just a little bit by Sat. then I can get some wood moved, didn't get any loads out this week.

Bounding out wetlands in this deluge is sheer masochism.

Pass was fubard today so instead of going over to the wet side for work the ole lady was stuck over here. She left very peeved this morning. I left after and didn't come back... lol okay no I wasn't running just had to go back to school lol Heading for the rain tomorrow. Hope Eugene isn't too soggy.

 

[slowp]

I find this site quite handy for tracking snow levels. Looks like I may wake up to a bit of the white death.
