Your pal,

TBone

So, help us out here........should the folks in Atlanta be sending you
water? Or are you volunteering to fill up the back of your car and head
east?

No, I'm saying that there is always too much water somewhere and not
enough somewhere else.

Well, you're wrong. There is never "not enough" water anywhere. There's
too many people there......sort of like wherever you are.

This year saw record rainfall and flooding in
Texas. This is a simple (well, solvable) plumbing problem.

Simpler than you suppose. It's already been solved. The solution is a
watershed. All you need for the installation and operation one of these is
a bit of topography. With that in place, the water manages to find its way
downhill. We've had them up here for years now.

In the absence of topography, the solution is even simpler.......a lake.
We've got those, too. You could acquire some of those through the simple
expedient of exporting some of your excess topography to places where it is
in short supply......say, Texas or Georgia, for example. In fact,
EVERYBODY'S topography problems could easily be solved by the establishment
of a national topography grid. But wait!, it gets better! There isn't even
a need to establish such a grid. Seriously. It's ALREADY THERE!
Railroads! Yep. Not only has the national topography grid already been in
place for over a century, it is grossly underutilized. Distributing
topography, on an as needed basis, would not only solve the immediate
problem, it would also boost the economy by providing a huge and highly
stable industry which would replace many of the jobs lost to overseas
competition in manufacturing, and would be (since both supply and demand
would be entirely domestic) immune to fluctuations caused by global economic
factors.

I am astounded that we do not have a reliable water grid.

Thus demonstrating that you are as easily astounded as baffled.

There is no excuse.

Almost certainly a consequence of the fact that there has never been a hint
of need for one.

I believe we need a new CCC.

Out of the mouths of babes....

Instead of Iraq we build the water grid.

Idiot.

Your pal,

Liar.
