I live in Metro Detroit. White Flight, burning rivers, riots, and Soupy Sales is my heritage. Metro Detroit is a clusterfuck. I should be so lucky to live in a place that has to worry about water. Maybe then my municipal governments would only be mildly deranged rather than out and out belligerently hostile to thoughtful development. Count your blessings, ESC. Chances are Atlanta will make it. Detroit is rotting from the inside out. Superiority complex? I live in Metro Detroit. White Flight, burning rivers, riots, and Soupy Sales is my heritage. Metro Detroit is a clusterfuck.

Since this is the worst drought in recorded history for us, the metropolitan thing loses a little bit of weight. I agree with it in principle, but this is exceptional. The state is going to be out of water in three months. The mussels will die anyway. Meantime, the people who made the stupid lake against all rational thought get the temporary use of the water they blundered into storing and the mussels will have to realize the salad days are over. I like them just fine, and hate to see their destruction but it's no longer a choice. We need to make mountains of snow in august, why can nobody see that??? All kidding aside, I do not live in the metro area. I'm a farmer way north of the cities with livestock to feed and hay to make. I run a green farm and my Los Angeles drought training means I'm a natural conserver. We're absolutely desperate here and your fucking lawn and your clean car and your out of state mussels are the subject of our horror, the loss of our livelihoods, our farms, and in the long term? YOUR FOOD. I don't have TV, what is this dog thing you speak of? I was a humane society volunteer for a long time. Those contracts were always a way to cover your ass but you never hope to have to invoke them. Mostly intended for extreme cases and usually not enforceable. I hope you appreciate the advice I've given based on my complete ignorance of the situation at hand. Water. We needs it.

I hope you get Your Meds soon, ESC. I understand Why the Rescue Group that Ellen adopted her dog from took action, there being A Contract and all. People do Dumb Things with their Pets sometimes. But, what I Don't Get is Why The Rescue Group doesn't just go and check out The New Owners. I am sure they are Fine. Then, they could have just Transfered The Adoption to them. Wouldn't that make More Sense? Instead, The Dog was put back in Foster Care. That seems Backwards to me. xoxo, TDR Wow. I hope you get Your Meds soon, ESC.

WE DON'T LIVE IN FUCKING ARIZONA. USUALLY THERE IS RAIN. AND YES, NOW THEY ARE MAKING PLANS AND ALL THAT. MY POINT ABOUT THE WHOLE FUCKING SITUATION IS THAT HI, WE NEED TO KEEP WHAT WATER WE HAVE LEFT RIGHT NOW AND NOT GIVE IT ALL TO FUCKING MUSSELS. please brag about your mad city planning skilz on your own fucking blog. yes yes, in the whole dizzying mess of making sure that there were enough roads and schools and office spaces and homes and targets and costcos and police officers and firemen and krogers and rape crises centers and doctors offices and sewage systems and power plants and everything that most cities need to worry about when their city is growing like a city that HAS something going for it, like businesses and progress and people who want to live there…somehow we didn’t realize that a couple years of unexpected drought would drain of the big fucking lake to the north of us.

We don’t live in that world.

They did not talk about water tanks." Just sayin'. I'm with Ellen on the dog issue because I've done the same thing with the Piss Crusader. Actually, mom did it first because she adopted him and then gave him to me when I took Joe, and then I gave him back when I couldn't handle the diabetes anymore. He is happy at her home. The place we adopted him from? Doesn't need to know.

Have you turned in your neighbor yet for watering their lawn? I hear the Water Police are getting inundated. I thought about you when I saw all the news reports on lack of water.

I totally side with ESC on the whole Ellen debacle. I just wish it had stayed out of the media. That was unnecessary. As is much of the media regarding celebrities, but that's all say about my soapbox rant on celebrities. P.S. I totally side with ESC on the whole Ellen debacle.
