Water of Love

deep in the ground, but there ain't no water here to be found

back during the local elections, I went up to Lake Casitas in Ojai to check out the bald eagles...I was amazed at not only the eagles, but also the low level of the lake...I returned and warned the people and candidates to talk about solutions... instead they were worried about gay people getting married and how much public workers were getting paid....and unions...all red meat nonsense to satify some retarded conservative base...





now while I agree gay people can be gross and totally creepy, I don't think we should spend an ounce of energy denying them civil rights....and I don't think it's prudent to try and bust unions....the tax association in Ventura wasted lots of time trying to penalize public workers with a bogus initiative but the judge tossed the case out....

but both conservatives and liberals are to blame..the libs are trying to save steelhead trout in a drought....if you think about that for even a second you'll see they are delusional...I say fuck the trout, I got a pool to fill!!




there's talk of desal in Santa Barbara....put the old plant on line and see what happens..back during the other big drought, voters opted for both state water and desal..the desal plant ran for a week or so and was taken off line....some units were dismantled or sold off and the skeleton remains....to put it back together will be expensive..

I read there was an early wine grape harvest....but picking wine grapes is not really a harvest because making wine is a non-essential commodity to be grown locally....




and breweries...24 gallons of water to get a pint of beer..then it gets pissed out using more water to flush!! legalize pot and save water!! i'm down with that

water is the most important resource esp in California... can't keep building out and ignoring the water supply...

the irony is people want to drill locally for more oil but we may have to import water soon

He also comes off as a racist and anti-Semitic douchebag, a chauvinist, an idiot, a dirtbag, a freak...Don't stop me; I'm just getting started!

I think he comes off as funny. He says his site is satire. Some people need a sense of humor around here. Or go cry in your beer I love the idea that wine freaks in the valley would rather see the people below them die of thirst rather than channel water away from their freaking wine grapes. So true!

Can't our local "water expert" Artie please do something about this drought? I thought he had magical divining powers? Or can he only now sniff out money where he thinks he'll find it?

A Toast To Water by Arthur von Wiesenberger

This past March 22 was World Water Day. Below is an OpEd published in the Santa Barbara News-Press and reprinted here by permission:

Today is World Water Day, a perfect reason to pay homage to H20. As anthropologist Loren Eiseley said, "If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in water."

That magic is apparent to any parent who has watched the fascination water brings to young children. Hours pass like seconds for children, be it at the beach, the pool or even in the bathtub. Natural water in every form - springs, streams, rivers or oceans - has a soulful connection to us all. Perhaps it is because we are three-quarters water and came from water, the relationship is so profound.

While working for Anheuser-Bush looking for natural springs in the West, I would be mysteriously drawn to a particular area. Like a magnet, there would be a pull to a swath of land. There, hidden under bushes and dense growth, would be a hidden spring. Repeatedly this method, more effective than some more scientific approaches, would yield many natural springs for the company, some of which were ultimately used for their beverage products.
