JMG, so right -- a number of studies have been published over the years done by people who understand that Western water is a matter of competing claims and rights, and that there is no "abundant" water that doesn't already "belong" to others. The...
Love the coffee bar seating! This might be my favorite location of the Flying Star/Satellite brand!
"They," Doug? Are those the people who always stereotype, too?
Muskrat sez: [[The difference between Phoenix and Albuquerque seems to be that your average Arizonan can grasp the concept of moving water from a place of relative abundance to one of relative scarcity.]]
I wish you were right, that this would so...
Phoenix has the Colorado River. We do transport quite a bit of water from the Colorado basin, but there is much less available for Albuquerque than Phoenix. Your "easy" solution of moving water is not so simple. The entire western US has water sho...
Suzy:
Your Anasazi comment is apt, as most New Mexicans' attitudes towards water seem rooted in the ancient past.
If you buy the argument of the water alarmists, when a resource is not locally available than we should do without. What nonsense. ...
Exactly, Zane. I think it's fair to worry about where a newly elected mayor stands on important issues if they don't even seem to be on his radar while he's running for office.

Get an old twelve ounce bottle of some sort. fill it with water and tightly close the lid. Place in an area within your tank in a spot that is able to hold the bottle so it wont tip over. In each flush that is how much water you save.

Heinrich on Bailout
Dear Martin Heinrich,
I am a Democrat, and voted for you two weeks ago. Now, if you are still around on Duke City Fix, I would really like to hear your stance on the auto bailout.
I'll give my opinion here. I just think its crazy that lawmakers are saying these environmentally unfriendly and irresponsibly managed sinking ships need to be saved. I think this is government intervention that is misdirected. Instead, government support should go towards helping the potentially displaced workers ge… Continue
