Good News
Related: About this forumI couldn't work on the gardens yesterday or today!!! why is this good news, you ask?
Because it is RAINING!!!!!!!!!!! we are in serious drought here (so serious that the idiots at utilities FINALLY got around to watering restrictions this year), so, believe me, every single drop of rain helps. The waldo canyon burn scar is under flood warning, but, so far, things are calm. AND, it is RAINING--a nice, gentle, rain that the trees, and plants, and grasses, are happily drinking in.

(27,271 posts)our precious water to bring polluting fossil fuels out of the ground. Natural gas burns clean, but the cost to the environment to extract it is too high. Would like to see Hickenlooper replaced by a gov who cares. Problem is, our other choices were completely unacceptable. He said fracking water was good enough to drink.. take a big gulp, gov!

(119,888 posts)has turned into such a disappointment, but, you are correct, the other "choices" were completely unacceptable.
where is the water? this is an alpine desert, we have to get water from elsewhere as it is, yet council won't address this tiny little issue.

(27,271 posts)about preserving water in the high country to "save our rivers," but when I bring up the use of water for fracking, they clam up. Frack away, but to hell with farmers or anyone who might have a back yard garden.
