The California drought is stoking a congressional appetite for additional water storage, with new and larger dams back on competing menus.

It seems a great irony that the last politician to do anything significant to improve the state’s infrastructure, including water storage/delivery, was a Democrat.

Oh yeah? Who dat? (please escuse my ignernce)

As if this were some new thing no one ever heard of before.

Do you know how many natural lakes are in Texas?

2

All of the other lakes are man-made reservoirs.

Well, that sure reminds me of a song I'd like to dedicate to Gov. Moonbeam: "He's a real nowhere man, working on his nowhere plan for nobody!" As in the high speed rail to nowhere!!!

Thanks for the update Mr. Federal Contractor. What's so interesting about it? Is it the Sierra Flub still trying to stop salvage of singed timber??? Please stamp out my ignerance. (grin)

What's so interesting about it?

I don't know - they are actually gonna cut some trees.... maybe...if they don't get sued

also, it burned hot enough that the quartz boulders exploded - which is pretty cool - as in getting side tracked looking for shiny yellow metal - it is gold country right?

[SierraWasp]

Were they white quartz bolders? Maybe I better change my plans for tomorrow!!!

[forester]

yes - they contain quite a bit of iron pyrite - couple of the guys thought they had struck it rich

Texas?

Do you have to dig a big hole to put them in? Where do y'all come up with the water?

[GeronL]

They do dig for lakes, but I have no clue where the water comes from. lol.
