We got 1.6" yesterday and 0.9" so far today. That's a fair share of rain on what has been an above average year (so far). The bigger story for us was the wind. High gust of 69 MPH last night, and 56 MPH just after midnight.
Sometimes they are just missing 1 part....... They can't work on the car until they have all the parts...... Not uncommon to see a repair taking months......
Slow and steady rain was what we got here in Chinatown. No spectacular downpour. Just hours of wetness. It was like drip irrigation. Which I don't mind.
The talking heads on cable are comparing Silicone Valley Bank to Bear Stearns. The up side is that anyone with money can now buy the dip.
"Buy The Dip". The Gavinator said that in a news sound bite awhile back. It really doesn't matter what he was referring to. A large number of people had no idea what that even means.
And there we have our real division in our society. Not race. It's money. Most Americans living paycheck to paycheck do not have an investment portfolio, and they would not be familiar with such colloquialisms. It would be like having a conversation about "left foot braking". Did Prince Gavin really think that Joe The Plumber, who is living in debt, has an extra chunk of change to buy the dip? The guy with the Rich Dad is disconnected from the guy with the Poor Dad.
Every time water is released, I wonder if there is some way to save the water. We have all of those water lines that already connect Northern California and Southern California. I wonder if it would be possible to build auxiliary tanks to store water or send it down the line to areas that aren't overflowing.
With the full reservoirs, will our water usage rates go down? And at the very end of the story....... water agencies are still asking people to conserve.
I don't remember dip when I was a kid. We just ate chips. We couldn't even afford to buy the chips. I remember distinctly how the chips were cut and deep fried in a wok. My family is poor. I have the Poor Dad. We didn't have money on the sidelines, waiting to be deployed into the market. We did not buy the dip.
