Well the article notes that the main area that is fucked is Calfornia's agricultural sector. Looks like residences will have more than enough water. Of course, a sharp decline in California's agricultural sector will probably have negative impacts on that state and the US.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

Yeah, I think it'll be a huge impact on the state, and also the nation and some other nations that buy Cali produce if/when Cali farmers have to keep cutting way back on production or have to shut down. The state's a huge supplier of all sorts of produce. This is probably going to hurt some.

Almond production is shifting more and more towards pistachios.   :cry:
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Just in case no-one has mentioned it, I guess it never rains in Southern California.

I guess they get onboard the westbound 747. And don't think before deciding what to do. That talk of opportunity, TV breaks and movies, sure rang true.
