The Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out (1959)
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Bloggerhythms Blog
I’ve always liked jazz, but I’m far from an expert, which is why I seldom write about the genre sometimes known as “America’s Classical Music.” I don’t want to come off looking foolish. However, Dave Brubeck’s Time Out, the first instrumental jazz album to sell one million copies, […]

[?]Submitted by Fit and Female Blog
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about why the fitness industry hasn’t been more successful in recruiting people in to adopting a healthier lifestyle. I can’t help but wonder if we (as an industry) have unrealistic and distorted expectations about what people will actually do.
The other day I […]
Almost a Denim Shirt

[?]Submitted by Off the Cuff Style
Hastily pinned to the form, and still “Under Construction”….but so far I’m satisfied with how this denim shirt is turning out.
It is being made for a favorite client of mine from a fine cotton denim fabric that has a remarkably smooth reverse side. The reverse side […]

I consider the level of dependence of the U.S. on imported petroleum to be a very large financial risk endangering the country’s future. There are certainly other import-related risks as well, but here I want to talk about the financial risk.
I consider it similar to having a […]
Clear And Present Danger: Plastic Litter and Urban Floods
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by PlasticLess.com Blog
Let’s get this out of the way first. Plastic waste doesn’t CAUSE flooding. Rain causes flooding.
Discarded plastic bags and plastic bottles DO impact the efficiency of flood control systems in several ways. Besides the obvious potential for clogging drains, plastic waste can also take up a lot of […]
Pyrrhic Victory in McCloud?
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Aguanomics Blog
Food and Water Watch joined local activists in celebrating Nestle’s decision to build a bottled water plant near Sacramento instead of in McCloud, CA.
I am not a fan of FWW’s hysterical anti-capitalist rhetoric (see this and this), and I am also familiar with the situation in McCloud, a […]

This story gives an update on the Bay Area’s carbon tax (prior post). First, it’s working logistically. Second, it’s probably going to be adopted Statewide. Third, it’s probably going to rise from $0.045/ton CO2e to a real price…

I read a lot of stuff, filtering it down to find the right content for this blog, and I thought it would be nice to share some good blogs with you. (I’d also love to hear about good blogs that I’ve missed, especially if they cover water issues […]
Markets or Regulations?
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Submitted by Aguanomics Blog
Brian Holtz sent me this question:
Hi, I’m wondering what you think of AB 1881 (requiring California towns to adopt a water conservation ordinance by Jan 1 2010), and what you think is the best market-oriented response to it.
The default ordinance imposes elaborate irrigation guidelines and landscape planning requirements […]
Poll Results — Peeing in the Shower
Rating 3.00 out of 5
[?]Hey! There’s a new poll (get outa town!) on the right —>
Do you pee in the shower?
Yes
73%
No
27%
83 votes total
Looks like a fair majority feels comfortable with letting some pee mix with their soapy water.
I wonder why the “no” voters do NOT pee? Is it hygiene? stage fright? greywater? standing […]

Lake Mead is half full, Lake Powell is half full. Why not slow evaporation by putting all the water in one of them?
Multinationals are planning for water shortages that may expose them to serious risk, but their efforts are sometimes dismissed as greenwashing. IBM, meanwhile, is bringing IT to water, hoping […]

[?]Submitted by Suede and Chrome Blog
Well, it’s hard to believe that the ME Zoo has been outside of Parker City, Indiana for over 21 years. Because of the recent economy, and the decline in school group revenue, the ME Zoo will be closing its doors on September 27, 2009. This was […]

It’s about time for me to consider upgrading my daily driver. I typically put 100 miles a day on my work vehicle. My 2002 Impala has almost 160,000 miles on it. I’m thinking it would make a nice 1st car for my 16 year old […]

The past three days have been cloudy, humid, and often rainy. It rained off and on all night last night, a hard, calm, steady rain, waking us in the morning with the sleepy sound of rain falling on the leaves of the oaks just outside our windows […]

Late in the morning on a mostly cloudy day, after a good rain last night, the sun now trying to break through, trees still dripping rainwater. An Eastern Wood-Pewee far down in the woods sings its full song as it moves from place to place. I can’t […]
