I live in the Pacific Northwest, the land of rain and clouds and mist and fog and rivers and streams and lakes and ponds and fertile land with emerald green forests.
It is bizarre that anyone would want to live in the desert of the Southwest.
I think arid places and even out right deserts are beautiful. Swampy humid jungle conditions and cold winters suck moose d-—.
Yep.
But they tore out the dams to save the fish, burnt the forests to save the birds and bees.
Meh. I grew up there, in the rain and the rain and the rain and the rain and the rain...
Now I live in the desert west of Tucson. I will admit it was a little warm this afternoon at 116, but to me a few nice sunny January afternoons will make up for it.
That’s right. And they bitch and moan but can’t connect the dots.
History does not repeat. But it does rhyme.
You’re right. That’s a scary map. I’m in southwest Colorado and we’re dry as a bone.
Ping for later. Still waiting for rain.
Desalinization, with some insight from Israel.
I live near one of the world’s greatest sources of fresh water: The Great Lakes.
Moderate drought my butt.
I live in the wettest place in the USA

The strongest argument opposing immigration....
The environment.
36% Of Arizona’s water comes from the Colorado - A serious issue to be sure, but not Armageddon. There’s a lot people could do to conserve. Also folks bitch about all the housing being created, but housing is largely created where farmland used to be. Housing consumes less water per acre than Farms do. In fact, 72% of Arizona’s water is used on farming. America has a choice to make regarding food production. Do we find ways to increase the water supply in farm rich, water poor states, or do we all die together?
I don’t believe it, but ok.
Build dams. Build the North American Water and Power Alliance.
“America’s drought” my ass.
In Florida we’re having an early rainy season. Lots of rain.
Lakes and canals are full and water is everywhere.
I lived in New Orleans for many years, and spent some time at Gulf Shores, AL. Had some good times there. I have a cousin in Mobile and friends in Daphne.
I have to ask you: Are you an Alabama or Auburn fan? I intentionally did not ask you about the University of South Alabama.
