Agreed. They're the least-objectionable (to me) team left.

I grew-up listening to that man play a fiddle. He was the best of the best. Chuck

My pool, which had a solar cover on it when not it use, dropped in level about one inch per month. In the winter, accumulated water had to be drained out. Lawn, on the other hand, uses many times that, and most lawns are a heck of a lot larger than my pool. Thank you for that. I learned something. Chuck

In far west Imperial, Texas, there is a shrimp farm where some folks took advantage of the brine water source. Also, your tune has changed drastically from a similar conversation we had a year or so ago. Chuck

Farmers are trying to grow the crops that people are demanding. People don't care about water volume necessary to grow crops... they just want what they want. It is nuts to try to grow high volume water consuming crops in the desert. What about the way Calexico and that country there in California did it, the farmers who changed a desert into a 'garden'? That was to meet the wants and needs of the public. Farmers throughout the West are in drought conditions and still trying to meet the demands of the public and work within conditions. That's a pretty tall order for less than 1% of our population. Chuck

If you're referring to crop rotation, farmers have been doing that since after the dust-bowl. For some reason, which I do not understand, it seems as though there is a faction in this country to do away with farmers and ranchers. Chuck

I don't water either... I live on a rock-pile. Trim 'em up nice and neat and put the place up for sale after the grass and weeds have cycled in fall. Chuck Chuck

The big question... are folks willing to do that? Chuck

They could quit doing both... at least till the drought ends. Chuck

Where I live, it's all volunteer. One little community has a VFD of three! We have men and women fire fighters and they are an amazing group of people. We have some of the roughest country around and they get the job done. I've watched them in action during some of the nastiest fires I've ever seen. All I can say is thank you for what you do. Be safe! Chuck

Just a question... are you with a Volunteer Fire Dept.? Chuck

Like those women recently in the Rangers who did not want the standards lowered. Chuck

I've been all through this thread and have seen mention of various ideas for conserving/procuring water but absolutely no mention of 'no' swimming pools. To me, that is the biggest waste of water going. Seldom used and seems like they are for mostly bragging rights or a gaudy display of one's wealth. Meanwhile, Lake Tahoe water levels drop to near zero. Chuck

cock, balls oh wait... wrong thread. That was an SNL classic routine! Chuck

Well...you just validated the axiom that Liberals are very good at spending other people's money. ...but not in their back yard! Chuck

And if they start ISIS Inc. they'll get corporate welfare, like other big corporations, so they can pay $millions in bonuses to their execs. As Long as they are indoctrinated to vote liberal, Obama would welcome it. All those Wall St. CEOs - definitely pillars of the liberal establishment. You are so astute. ...and we have things like this... http://www.model1sales.com/ Chuck And ISIS Inc. can take a tax deduction for them. No! We need something to defend ourselves with down here on the border. Chuck Agreed I figured you had already joined at least one militia.... so move out there Mr MilitiaMan .... go patrol the north bank of the Rio-not-so-Grande. I hear ISIS is just across the river....... are you willing to protect the Texican Homeland??? We don' need no stinkin' militia! Chuck Until we do. Mind your cache! Chuck I'm just curious to see what happens if we keep "quoting" this entire post... Turtle's original comment that started the string seems to get smaller and smaller...My theory is that if it disappears, it will create a vortex and suck SC into oblivion... ...and would we all go with it? Chuck

It's o.k., they're in Mexico... just let 'em all in! Chuck Absolutely. We can give them free healthcare and free education too.v You bet! No need for bloodshed and beheadings. Let 'em all have whatever they want... no strings. Then too, it could never happen here. No need for worry. Chuck

When I saw this thread, I thought maybe McDonalds' was lashing back at the protests demanding higher pay for employees. Walmartians did the same thing recently in front of some of the Walmart stores. What happened? Walmart shut some of those stores down, without warning. They claimed plumbing issues. Well, there hasn't been any permits issued to deal with those. The article was published a few days ago. That happened to the Wal-mart in Midland, Texas. Folks showed-up for work only to find the doors locked and a sign saying something about a plumbing problem. Chuck

Just the ones that got caught. The rest of them? Just a matter of time. Chuck
