Agreed. Which means that the woke BS will continue until people really start suffering.

Nothing that double facemasking shouldn’t handle easily. Just send Fauci to USDA.

Hi.

It’s because of global cooling. No, it’s because of global warming. Sorry, it’s because of climate change.

Or, it could be that entire western part of the U.S. is and has been a desert?

If it wasn’t for the Hoover dam, other dams and reservoirs, LA and SF would be almost inhabitable.

It's a typical western US dry spell (sporadic winter rains and summer monsoon). Similar to past events, this one seems to be like the 1920's, not 1930's (not a dust bowl by any stretch of imagination)

Droughts are a process that has helped to limit development in certain areas. It is a cycle. What is outside such considerations, is the massive amounts of people and infrastructure that has developed in such areas over the years.

We had a drought when we were living in Georgia. That was about 15 years ago and even today we save cooking water, use bath water for plants, etc.

Chinese farms have lots of water and will be now be redoubling their food exports to the US. No worries.

Grocery stores will still be canning and packaging their food stuffs in their back rooms; many items will, because of modern advances in canning and packaging, be grown directly in the cans and packages which will ensure purity and freshness. Enjoy!

So far this spring I’d have been better off as a duck.

The grass is butt deep to an elephant and the ground is too wet to cut it. There is so much ground moisture that the thatch would just trap the vapor and the grass would mildew even if the round was firm enough not to rut.

Yes, I was going to say that Pennsylvania has gotten plenty too - this chart looks wrong.

NJ has had a lot lately as well.

Still, we should put our masks on and blindly vote Democrat to fix this /s

“… is the worst it has ever been in two decades…”

“Worst ever” would be something, but “in two decades” sort of makes this author into a pearl clutching fear monger.

Yes, I remember the great Dust Bowl… of 2001? That’s when the famine got so bad that all the big entertainers got together and held a relief concert, right? Without those bags of rice and corn donated by China, the death toll would have been much higher, right?

We came from FL to MO and settled in the Ozarks among many springs several miles from Meramec River that gets fed by thousands of springs. We cross two different spring fed creeks a 1/4 mile apart and half mile from home. One was set up and certified for bottling. Just never happened. Yeah, what drought? We have good top soil which is hard to find in the Ozarks. S/SE facing elevation, also hard to find in a small property. Started with 8 and bought the adjacent 7 which is not as good but still more land. Took us two years to find this property. Got plenty of garden area and have done some. Got fence meat goats started. Need pigs.

I was land shopping with a prepper mentality. Air(cleaner), water(plenty), food(ability to grow fruits, veggies and meat). Away from civilization(check)

“Maybe. But...”

The moment people see their children starving, the liberal agenda is irrelevant.

It’s a good habit to get into.

Call me what you will, but I have always been a ‘Conserve’-ative! I grew up with Depression-era Grandparents. My Dad was a little kid then, born in 1939, but he still remembered tough times and pledged to never put his own family through that if he could help it. (I wanted for nothing growing up. Well, I never DID get a pony, but still...)

If you’re milk drinkers, my favorite trick is to finish a gallon jug of milk (Beau drinks a lot of milk!) and then fill it back up with water right away. That little bit of milk in the bottom is excellent for all flowering plants - I’ll bet your peppers would love it! It keeps my indoor Geraniums blooming all winter long. :)

Just today I cut up two old t-shirts so I can use the strips I made to tie up my peppers and tomatoes as they come along.

I firmly believe that if The Universe ‘sees you’ wasting things, she’ll be less apt to send things your way when you really need them. ;)

As noted above we have been going through this cycle for at least half a century (and more if you go back to Steinbeck Grapes of Wrath days). Instead of heeding the story of Joseph in the bible (7 years of feast, followed by 7 years of famine) our political class spends billions on trains to nowhere.

If we would build more reservoirs there would have been plenty of water thanks to the massive snowfall 2 years ago. Instead we are told they had to release water to keep dams from overflowing and to save a few snail darters. You reap what you sow.
