    So cherries are popping sooner and sooner, huh?

    Sounds like Gaetz should be in favor of it.

    We aren't too far away from wars being fought over water.

    I've been saying that for 20 years. Pretty easy to predict if you've been paying any attention to population and migration patterns and global warming. A big portion of the globe doesn't have regular access to clean drinking water, and it isn't getting better anytime soon.

    It's been snowing all morning here in flyoverville.

    And that's here, where there are such dams. In parts of Africa and Asia there is already fighting and migration caused by water shortage and access to it.

    Yup, same. It's why I never complain about snow. You can never have too much water, especially here, the only state where no water flows into it, it all flows out.

    I remember sitting in on a lecture in 1978 about how the next civil war would be an attack on Lake Okeechobee because South Florida was growing too fast for fresh water supplies to keep pace. And yet there are at least double the amount of people there in 2021.

    And Northern California had severe water rationing in the late 1970s because of consecutive dry winters. And yet there are at least double the amount of people there in 2021.

    We aren't getting the message apparently.

    If people won't wear masks, they won't conserve water, either. FREEDUMBS!!!

    But the more we wait on this stuff now, the more we'll have to sacrifice later.
    Every one of us. But the morans all around us know that sacrifice is for others.

    The plot of Deliverance is centered on a water crisis.

    Ned Beatty, with 167 film and TV show credits to his name, might have avoided his lifelong tighty-whitie ignominy had a dam not required building.

    I use the leftover water in drinking glasses for my plants. Am I hashtagging?
