    Half full only despite the rains. The catchment soil got so dried out with recent scorching summers they're acting like sponges soaking up the run offs. Thank goodness we have 2 water desalination plants and a third one on the way. Also ground water. Our dams only supply less than 20% of our...

    TACO, Trump always chickens out. He hasn't the balls to say "No" to his pet sycophant Netanyahu, like "No more US arms nor intelligence unless you stop your Genocidal actions!"

    Sorry to befuddle so, I taught Senior Probability Maths with Calculus and Physics intertwined. My clockwork mind often considers the minutiae of the life spans of things. For example five of my 30yo clothes pegs still work fine from a big pack from way back. A bit like radioactive decaying...
