Bad news for the residents of Phoenix and Las Vegas, among others who live in the arid deserts of the Southwest. At least those who depend on water.



Lake Mead and nearby Lake Powell -- the two largest reservoirs on the Colorado River -- have drained at an alarming rate. Lake Mead has fallen more than 139 feet since January of 2000.
    Lake Mead is currently 16 feet below where it was this time last year and the reservoir is only 37% full, while Lake Powell is down 35 feet from last year and sits at just 34% of the lake's total capacity. This year’s flow is projected at 28% of normal, so it’s only going to get worse.
    Who knows, maybe the morons(R) who deny Climate Change will have a change of heart when their water taps run dry. And oh yeah, there’s also that pesky ‘electricity’ thing, cuz turbines turned by that same water will stop turning.
    Maybe THEN they’ll believe? Unless FOX tells them differently, that is, blaming it on Joe and/or Hillary.
    There’s a lot of things you can live without, but water ain’t one, especially when there’s no electricity.

    Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

    You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

    Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

    Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

    where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
