If the drought don't kill off the fishing, all the home building will. There are lawsuits galore filling the courts over water rights. People thought the water tables would last forever. Dumb thought. It has been predicted that the cost of a water tap within five years will be $24,000, just for one single-family dwelling. After draining all the reservoirs, these idiots called politicians will go after the ground water in a big way, until it is dry. Then what? Any visitor to Colorado will have to bring their own water or drink Coors beer. I'm a Bud man myself.
I've been giving this situation some serious thought (I know, thinking is bad for the mental health) and I really can't come up with a viable solution except to stop building and start conserving. I don't care if I have a green lawn or not, I'd rather just cover it with concrete and paint it green, then sweep it clean. But mess with my fishing, and there will be hell to pay. I've started bombarding (will that word be picked up by the CIA's listening satellite?) my local village idiots with letters expressing my opinion on the subject. So far, nothing. When Great Lakes water is being exported to China (that's not as far fetched as it seems), then maybe more people will wake up.
As for snow, we'd need a hundred feet to make a dent. If that happens, I'd better find myself a female bunk mate who loves to shovel snow, is a confirmed nudist and knows a thousand recipes for SPAM ®.
Other than that, I don't have much to say.
