Dry Farming

Recently on National Public Radio there was a news story on dry farmed apples that tasted much better than the irrigated crops. Yield was slightly less, but rave reviews on the new and improved product drove up unit sales values and the farmers did not have to spend money on water and irrigation power.

We need to reconsider english gardens, large lawns and green golf courses in the middle of deserts. Perhaps as the world gets drier, we will begin to accept responsibility.

Our household has been saving the tub/shower water and it is going on our plants outside. We are better than 25% less consumption and my arms are getting a free workout hauling the 5-gallon pails around the yard.

mortgage melt-down

So it turns out that most of the "investment grade" mortgages that were done by Ameriquest were still owned by Ameriquest but they hired the wolf to manage the money.

The wolf ate the mortgagors and the securities and left Ameriquest holding an emply bag filled with defaulted mortgages that were caused by the wolf.

Who was the wolf? You only need to ask the Securities Exchange Commission who was the "Master Servicer" for Ameriquest [A.K.A. Park Place Securities, LLC]

alternative power

We are facing a demand for alternative power, but the government funding for such efforts is eclipsed by the other uses of funds.

If we look towards the military underwriting of foreign oil, where troops are sent to protect stable use of assets owned by other countries, and instead applied that money towards development of alternative energy, just think of what we could achieve!

And less soldiers would die>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

water to clean your driveway

I was raised in a part of the country where the same cup of water was consumed 100 times before it went to the ocean. In california we believe that is gross and just want anything used to go away, down the drain and into the sea.

Because of this, we use water as if it is infinitely available, even, I see, to wash down a driveway instead of brooming.

Now our farmers of this "Caddilac Desert" are screaming because they can not grow crops that were destined for wetter environments. I am sorry for them, their paradigm was built on a water economy that was artificial and could not sustain itself forever. Reality is a hard teacher. We have a dry tap and thirsty people!

The world needs to look at water as more precious than oil, and expend the energy to keep it, reuse it and recycle it. Only then can we stop mining the earth for even more water and the minerals, such as arsenic, that come from the deeper aquifers.
