52, but my Grandfather was born in 1883 and died in 1948. Mom is still kicking...she will be 90 this year.

Not you. We were talking about Dr. Strangelove.

In his free time, c0cKney likes to eat PooP.

[rah]

If I remember correctly he's older than I am so I'm guessing mid 60's.

[Dr Strangelove]

Holy Cow! How old is your dad?

My dad's been dead for 34 years, but he was born in 1922. His grandfather owned a store north of Paris, but far enough from the river that it didn't get flooded when the lake was created.

I'm 62.

That is incredible. Mom was born north of Paris near the river in 1925. I would bet they knew each other.

[C0ckney]

it's a small world.

[ZEE]

c0cKney enjoys all the different flavors and varieties of PooP. He also enjoys their textures and smells.

[ZEE]

BasicKally c0cKney is a PooP cKonnoisseur.

This thrade fell Pretty far down the Page so I am Putting a Poast in it to BumP it to the toP.

[ZEE]

I am sad that noBody else is Poasting in this fantasticK thrade. I am Putting this Poast in it in the hoPes that someBody will see it and Poast in it as well. I learned a lot from this thrade and might tell DanQ to sticKy it to the toP of the forum for a month or two. This is my new favorite thrade BecKause of the different ways that it changed my life. I will never Be the same again. So lets all do our Part and Poast in this historicK thrade.

Also, c0cKney is a PooP.

NPR was recently talking about the possibility of a mega drought in the US southwest. They were also talking about a water project which the US Army Corp has been talking about since the 1950's but which has never gotten off the ground. It involves making a whole series of new dams and reservoirs on the Mississippi River and it's tributaries and then building a series of canals and tunneling a large diameter pipeline to deliverify the water to the Colorado River basin. That way flood surges in the Mississippi basin could be diverted out west to the six states of the Southwest while there would be additional stored water in reservoirs so if there was a drought irrigation water could still be delivered to the Midwest and parts of the south.

The problem? Costs. It would be one of the largest public works projects since the Great Depression or since the interstate freeway system was set up. It would mean the country would have much more ability to move water around, store water, and all those new hydroelectric dams would help to decrease reliance on fossil fuels.

It would also completely wreck the Gulf Coast so I'm sure that the Loser-anny and Mississippi Congressional contingents would be on board with it.

The BoR needs to cut water contracts even further, and there needs to be water costs increased for commercial use, if in fact we have enough time for it.

Brown ordered new water restrictions into effect today, that exclusively target private citizens and cities. Can't let crony capitalism be restricted in anyway, I guess. We need those almonds.

What about golf courses? If I understand correctly, agricultural concerns are handled by a different track.

Private citizen and non-agribusiness use is a tiny percentage of Cali's water use.
