I don’t disagree with those reports but I do have one thing to say. I keep seeing these reports of how bad the drought is here. And yes, we are in a severe drought. But it is not of the proportions (yet) that I am seeing reported. I have seen drought conditions worse 2 times since 1975 and that particular report said it’s not been worse since 1917. Not sure if that’s a global warming scare tactic or what. We are bad, but it hasn’t gotten to what the reports say.

The Calif. group has been posting and it appears that there is real trouble there, it is so dry that some farmers are not planting.

They are saying that Calif will have rationed water by June.

The problem in Cali isn’t the drought so much... it’s the court order stopping water pumping to the west side of the Central Valley. Westlake Farms has let 1/3 of their land go fallow because of anticipated water shortages. All to save the non-native “Delta” smelt. Damn envirowhackos!!!!!!

Okay, I’m about to try to make a run on catching up to the thread now. I went and spent the day with my widow friend. Today marks the one year anniversary of her husband’s death.

Would be nice for anyone to send a little prayer up for her. She didn’t want me to stay that night but we had a good round of tearful memories today.
