liberals in Washington state sounds better then here..but then again,the moon sounds even better.
I read one article where the aquifer is about 50% drained now. Because of this the ground has started sinking, up to a foot a year. The real problem is the aquifer was filled during the ice age, and is not replenished anymore. When it's gone it's gone. All the farming they are doing in the deserts is pumping it out at amazing rates. It's a tough situation.OK according to our media California has screwed up somewhat, not only is it in a mega drought and used up most of its stored water, but apparently its also used up most of its reserves in underground aquifers etc and they now reckon that region will run out of water in about a year.
One other " expert" on the radio also warned that when / if the massive ground water aquifers refill it could trigger lots of quakes.

I have my fertile eggs on there, but when I saw the prices of eating eggs I almost freaked out. I know a few chicken forums say about $4 per dozen. Personally I hav never gone over $2 a dozen, unless if it's for hatching eggs, and those sell between $10 and $50 per dozen depending on breeds. But eating eggs?? To me a couple of bucks is plenty.I never thought about craigslist for food before. It's a great idea for small farms to sell some of their extra produce.
Regarding one of your huge aquifers ( something like the Oghalla it was called) I read that over extraction was causing salt water to start creeping into the aquifer from the coastal areas, that in itself could bugger up water supplies in future generations.
Either way in the end the chaps up in the pacific NW and atlantic NE are going to need to build a border to keep millions of refugees out fleeing from the south.
