You can support whatever you want to support, Tom. I was merely commenting on your post.

Touchy, touchy!

For John W.
I think we must be smart on what kind of crops we plant in certain areas. Rice seems to do well in areas with rain fall. Cotton may have a different impact on limited water areas, large farmers seem to do well with the cotton, but they have no competition. The Canal will get water to those areas we speak of very soon.
Thanks.

Don’t hold your breath, Tom.

Construction might start in 30 years. Or not.

Speaking of deep doo doo, your post comes to mind.

Tom Benigno, what’s your view on using these limited water resources to grow crops like cotton and rice in California?

Article in Friday’s NYT. Strip clubs in Tampa are eager for the influx of Republican convention goers. Based on past national political conventions, the “industry” has determined that Republicans spend three times as much as Democrats.

One of the the clubs has announced that it will be featuring a dead-ringer for the former Alaska governor. My guess is that she will have no shortage of takers for the lap dances.

According to the story, “Promise Keepers” were also eager patrons when they held their convention in Tampa. They even wore their “Promise Keeper” ID’s and name tags to the clubs. Go figure.

Am I starting to get under your skin?

Both of you have no clue what you are talking about in this area, and were factually called out on that, and are now caught spending time when the rest of us are peacefully asleep (@17: 12:16 am; @18: 2:52 am) desperately trying to “ad hominen attack” your precious “know-it-all” self-images back toward something your fragile egos are comfortable with.

What the dickens is wrong with you? First, “I thought LA was working on that” was not a claim to be an expert on the subject. It was a simple reaction to an online inquiry I had done a a day or so earlier after the tunnel proposal was announced. I was curious as to whether any desalination initiatives were being explored in Southern CA (it being a desert area close to the ocean and all) and found out that indeed there was some start and stop activity — presumably slowed down by the very issues mentioned by Elwood.

Secondly, my message expressed AGREEMENT with YOUR point that this was something that should be considered as an alternative to taking more and more of the limited and increasingly unreliable supply of water from the snowpack.

For expressing some curiosity on the subject and doing a little online checking and for AGREEING with you, you jump all over my case. Does anything ever make you happy!

Either you can’t read or you are deliberately distorting my words.

What I said was “about the only place where desalination is in wide use is in the oil fiefdoms of the Mideast.” You say I said: “the only place where this is happening is the Mideast”

I said “Desperate measures for desperate times.” You say I said “Deperate measures call for desperate times?”

You obviously have reading comprehension problems. Either that or you are deliberately lying.
