And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Via a link from Pops (thanks!) take a gander at this drone's eye view of the spillway damage at Oroville and the huge bar of rubble in the river.
Might as well write that off and start over. As an aside to that, I was reading an article earlier talking about how all that rain they have gotten down in Kommiefornia probably washed tons of gold out and they specifically mentioned that below this dam would be a good place to start looking.
I'm by no means a contractor but did anyone else notice the lack of rebar in the chunks of broken concrete? Shouldn't there have been rebar in there? It would seem that the spillway might not have broken as bad as it did...Anyone else know?

ReplyDeleteYou'd find more gold getting the construction contract to rebuild it.
ReplyDeleteLike the miners in '49 that opened stores in the mining district. They made sure money hand over fist, at much less effort, than the actual miners.
