(Funny when witless people can't think of anything interestingly snarky to say they fall back on the old "sleeping with" cliche. Lazy, lazy.) As for the mentally ill part, sort of right. I mean I allowed YOU to comment in this section, didn't I? <br /><br />Regarding "non profits," it only takes three people to register a "non profit corporation" in CA. Prez, Sec & Treasurer. Anybody can fill out the papers and start one. We did that when a handful of us started work on getting the county's first off--leash dog park going. (at El Chorro regional park) To date, I still don't really know what use it was, except we were advised it can offer some liability protection for a Board, or something. And it does allow for some governmental oversight of groups saying they're "non profit, etc." It's not a 501c3 so it has no tax benefit for donors. You have to report annually to the Franchise Tax Board and the AG, but for our group that was a waste of time since we had nothing to "tax" since we were a non-profit. The real heavy lifting on the dog park came through our becoming a subcommittee of SLOPOST, a 501c3. Years after the park was built our board finally decided to dissolve this useless appendage. That's when I found out what a nightmare that was. The whole deal was like a roach motel. Once you file that simple form you're in for it if you ever realize it's a waste of time and want to de-clutter your organization. <br /><br />Apropos Paso, I was out back of beyond in Templeton yesterday and Holy Cow. Unless you ramble around in the back country out there, you have no idea how many grape vines are in the ground. The word "gazillion" comes to mind. It's like an iceberg -- the ones you see from main roads are only the tip, but go down some of the little county roads and you understand why and how Paso got into such a mess.

Patterson wouldn't have hemmed and hawed for hours forcing the rest of the Supes to eye roll over endless questions meant to stall the inevitable. Even Mecham stepped up to the plate and was ready to vote hours earlier. <br /><br />I guess a sewer in Los Osos holds more sway over Ron's "thinking" or whatever you want to call it, than the water basin in serious crisis in his area of the county. Has he even followed that huge story? If that basin goes, the number of people in serious economic stress will dwarf any number in Los Osos. The BIG wine industry players and the Agenda 21-ers pushed for Arnold and apparently the fate of those thousands of smaller landowners is less important to Ron. How he as a "journalist" did not see where this was going to go is amazing.... oh wait.....<br /><br />I think it is kinda hilarious that Ron never even looked at the RCLO website when it was up to see who was on the board (hint: I was not).

The toilets are the bigger water wasters.<br /><br />See page 10 of the document off this link:<br /><a href="http://www.slocounty.ca.gov/Assets/PW/LOWWP/PM+Monthly+Update+July2013.pdf" rel="nofollow">July 2013 Report</a><br /><br />And I will confess that I have a new HE washer, just didn't get around to doing the rebate thing yet. I would say our newly higher water rates are going to curtail water use faster than any washing machine program anyway. So if we don't get all the washer rebates done, maybe the net result will be comparable.<br /><br />We don't actually know how many gallons are going into the bay, Rob Miller said Ray Dienzo would be the contact person who could answer that. I don't think listening to Julie and Linde guessing numbers are the way to gauge what our reactions should be. When I see some real numbers then I will decide what to do. Just remember, we lose 1 million gallons of water to the bay EVERY DAY and have been for YEARS. Our perched aquifer and upper aquifer are overfilled with septic returns and it is leaking outta here!<br /><br />Trucking water someplace has its drawbacks too. I recall Julie being very angry that the old project at Tri-W was to have 3 truck loads a day driving out of town. Consider that a truck can carry 5,500 to 11,600 gallons at a time, how many trucks would be needed just to remove the lower end of their "hair on fire" estimates, that 8 million gallons?
