    The backward logic they use is: The area only gets enough rain to support a population of 20k to 50k.

    Rainfall only accounts for 1% of demand so why bother? Just pump in more from Sacramento even though the aqueduct is close to maxed out for reliable usage.

    Dad died in 2018. I had a lot of resentment and anger. Now I sit in my driveway crying uncontrollably.

    Didn’t mean to drag anyone down. Just some crap coming out.

    It looks to head to Nevada more than Cal. Then straight north

    My dad past in 1987. On occasion I still need to go sit on a stump and stare at the horizon for a bit.

    The car that I will always remember was a 66 GTO plated "BAKNBAD".

    The owner had a shop called California muscle cars.

    No one really trailered anything out there, that was considered a fox pass in those days.

    We all have something like that in some form in our past. Just rewind and maybe see some good times or something that occurred that meant a good difference in your life. Maybe a lesson learned of do not do that, or one that really paid off in some way, as a valued friendship or career opportunity.
    There is a lesson in all of them, sometimes hard to define. Try not to plot tomorrow, it usually varies.

    I’m an angry fella. I hold onto what I experienced. There can be no other way.

    I got feelings spewing out of me. I feel weak. Had to have my son taken inside. Didn’t want to ruin his vibe. I’m a wreck. Not sure what triggered this.
