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.

Skiers moving up Avalanche Gulch. There are seven skiers in this image.
I hear from my sister in Fresno that the water table in the lower San Joaquin valley is actually rising due to the two wet years we've had. That is indeed excellent news.
Yes, it is. But the San Joaquin farmers are warning the California Water Resouces CONTROL Board that if their quota is not increased from the current 30% figure, they will be dependent on drawing water from their wells and the underground aquifers they draw from.
The quotas are: Feather River drainage users, 100% Above the Delta, 50%. Below the Delta, 30%.
If the Central Valley Project can't provide water to the valley in back-to-back great water years, when can they provide their promised water? .
And to think Shasta Lake is within 10 feet of topping out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it will stay full for quite a while this year. Wonderful.
