That is pretty funny.

I must admit that sometimes they do have what I need. But if it's a
toss up or I can get it elsewhere I'll do it.

Something about the people there. Employees and shoppers. al gore
groupies and just ****ing morons it seems. A little too cool for their
own good. They also support groups that are against Lake Powell. A
total contradiction to common sense. Maybe if they would support
enforcing our borders and fight senseless spawning we could get by
without it, but not until.

I have a buddy from my undergrad years working at the Salt Lake REI.
Shame... he's turned into a major tool.

For spawning, bike seats and marijuana are excellent way to keep sperm
count down or badly swimming sperm. So sensitive hippies with excellent
aerobic capacity are doing their part for zero population growth.


LoL.

I enjoyed the shop in Seattle, it was like a fun park for outdoor stuff
geeks. But waaaaay too pricey. It's for people who are happy paying full
retail for stuff you can get much cheaper if you have the time to shop
around and wait, stalking the bargain. We have a few shop-chains like that
in Aus (but without the flashy flagship shops with rivers and stuff), and
the prices are just silly. The top goretex shells are over a thousand bucks
(aus dollar is worth 10 cents less than the US one). I got a brilliant
goretex shell in the US some years back for 75 bucks, it was Sportif brand,
and I've been in monsoonal rains in this and never got wet (love the pit
vents that you can velcro back to keep them open, but also overlap velco
close). You have to lift an eyebrow at super expensive shops whose brand
has become a lifestyle image.

I did score a spiffy US olympic team hat from them though for $14 (from the
SLC shop) season before last.

Eradication of the Glenn Canyon Dam is always going to be Greenies'
dream. I mean it is one of the main subjects in the "Monkey Wrench
Gang", the Sierra Club has fought against it before it was built and
constantly demand its eradication. I believe in irrigation, but I also
think some of the farmers, mainly on the Columbia and the San Joaquin
Valley are huge water hogs...


Irrigation is a small part of it. I'm thinking of all the toilet
flushes, showers, lawns, dishes. Not to mention the power
generation !!!! Southern California would decend into civil war if it
didn't have GCD's water and power. What is left of the white
population there wouldn't be too happy when forced to sacrifice and
live in the 17th century to make sure that there was enough power and
water for the "minorities".

Water from the Colorado River that ends up as tap water in Southern
California is pumped out down below all the big power dams. And there
is plenty of other water available to Southern California. It is even
becoming economically viable to remove the salt from it, by such
techniques as using waste heat from sea-sside electrical generation
plants.

And then there is reclaimed waste water. A large portion of the San
Diego sewage flow, for example, is cleaned up and distributed in
separate mains (purple pipes) for irrigation and the like. There have
been proposals to clean the water a little further and cycle it
thorugh the local reservoirs. A few locals always express disgusta t
thei, and then go home and brush their teeth in water a significant
portion of which is derived from the Colorado River.

Don't know very much about western states power distribution, do you?

Glen Canyon Dam generated power isn't contracted to California.

It only goes to Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and
Wyoming.

-Astro


And if those places didn't get their power from GCD would it be drawn
from the places that DO send it to LA?
I'm thinking Hoover Dam sends power to Southern Cal. from the power
lines going out of there.

I've heard it said that Lake Mead would be empty were it not for the
storage in Lake Powell that has made that whole system possible to
manage.

My point still stands. I did expect some tight ass to respond to that.
Just not from you :-o

I learned recently that Lake Havasu can only fluctuate about 6' before
the pumps that supply water to the aqueduct to Southern California are
left high and dry. And Powell and Mead make it possible to maintain
that narrow margin possible.

Now that those mussels have found their way into the system I wonder
what problems that will create for water supply to Calif.?

Well, then Southern California should use that "other" water because
right now, they are stealing a large portion of the water they are
using from the Colorado..

http://192.234.213.2/1997/101697_col...ado_river.html

When the upriver states start using their share, CA is gonna have to
get over their reluctance to build a pipeline from the north to the
south. Or go dry. *If* the NoCalians let them.
