Black is the new green

Ah, finally the ramifications of over-population and under-production begin to rear their ugly heads.

For the first time in over 20 years, East (San Francisco) Bay residents are now on an imposed-mandatory water rationing -- which has been in effect since yesterday.

The East Bay MUD (Municipal Utility District, aka the best tasting water in arguably all the United States) is asking that single families cut back water usage 19 percent.

See the news broadcast here.

So, now that I'm back from France, I'm finally going to adopt not showering. Just kidding, but I think I'm going to have to revert back to turning off water in the middle of my shower. I really detest that idea because I get so cold mid-shower. It sucked in France because water is so f-ing expensive there, but it was also the thick of winter.

With the temperature expected to hit 102º tomorrow, I shouldn't think this will be a problem.

But wow, really, water rationing? Can't we just ask God to make it rain a little bit up there? Or what about all the ice melt, can't that come back some how?!

Water shortages are no good. Yay for Barry Bonds getting indicted. Maybe Bill Belichik is next? That would make me super sad.

(Btw, totally had to google him to find out how to spell his name)
