Today is Administrative Professionals Day. This day shall determine how many flights I “forget” that he doesn’t like the middle seat.

I got rid of my admin years ago. I haven’t used one in probably eight years.

California is seriously running out of fresh water.

Millions must cut water use in drought-stricken California

Southern California's gigantic water supplier took the unprecedented step Tuesday of requiring about 6 million people to cut their outdoor watering to one day a week as drought plagues the state.

Time to put a wall around the state and not let anyone out.

It ain’t easy being “management”, but someone has to do it.

I really don't give much of a fuck about SoCal having to conserve water, since a lot of their water comes from Northern California, and if we've had to conserve, in part so they can have their water, they can conserve, too.

That said, I decided to read around, figuring it was likely being overblown. You see, Southern California gets very, very upsetz when they're told they can't soak all the golf courses they decided to build in the middle of the fucking desert with water whenever they want.

I read some line about how a certain area is already down to 111 gallons a day, and that's one of the lowest in the area. Um. They call 111 gallons a day at this time of year conserving?!? In the middle of summer, fine. That would still be the equivalent of me watering my entire front and back yard a few times a week by hand, or letting the irrigation system water a couple of times a week, for probably an hour each time. Basically, 111 gallons a day translates to just over 9CCFs every two months. In the winter, I get down to less than half that, and that's without really making any effort to conserve, like, at all.

Ditto for parts of Arizona, where they now grow almost as much produce as the Central Valley, and mainly by draining the lower Colorado Basin -- and also all in a --ing desert. Can't sustain that forever

That isn't very bright, either, but at least they're growing produce, which seems a wee bit more important than having umpteen golf courses.

I've had my hackles up over that for, well, ever since the first time I was in the Palm Springs area. We were in "conserve water" mode up here, and I went down there to see alllll this water being used on golf courses in the desert, and this was before "gray water" irrigation was common.

They're probably using it for some golf courses, as well.

Sounds like you're teed off about this.

I'll gladly trade them some water for a little bit of warm weather.

Not as much as the thought of one of those losers getting hit by a car because they ran a red.

I absolutely understand the animosity behind your statement,
But the issue with those losers getting hit by a car because they ran a red is twofold ... or maybe more accurately two and a half fold ...

1. It's messy ... and blood is a bitch to get off asphalt ... and gross (the gross is the extra half).
2. The poor soul driving the car would probably be traumatized by killing someone, even though it ain't their fault.
