20 YRS LATER WE HAVE EXPENSIVE "NEW" CARS THAT ARE RATHER OUT OF REACH FOR MOST. HOW LONG DID IT TAKE US TO GET TO THE MOON AFTER KENNEDY ANNOUNCED THE GOAL? WHY HAS IT TAKEN SO LONG TO GO OFF THE GRID? OUR REPUBLICAN FRIENDS ARE SO DISGUSTED THEY ARENT VOTING THIS YEAR!!!!! OUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE AROUND HERE IS THE BIG IDEA KUCINICH AND OF COURSE HILLARY, A WOMAN WHO HAS DEVOTED HER LIFE TO THE SERVICE OF OUR COUNTRY AND PEOPLE FAULT HER. STRONG WOMEN SEEM TO HAVE TO STAND TO A DIFFERENT MEASURE THAN THE REST OF THEM.
WATER IS AN ISSUE AROUND HERE. THE FARM WAS SUED A FEW YRS AGO BECAUSE THE CITY DOWN STREAM SAID OUR AREA WAS PULLING THEIR WATER. NOW PISMO BEACH IS INCROACHING ON THE WELLS OF ARROYO GRANDE.
LOTS OF INFO ON THE DROUGHT. OAK TOXICITY, DISEASE INCREASE.
VERY FEW NEW VETS ARE FEED ANIMAL VETS. MOST VETS GO INTO PETS OR EQUINE. GOOD NEWS...... LOOKING @ THE RAINFALL CHARTS FOR THE LAST 40 YRS WE SEE A 7-17YR PATTERN. LOWEST RAINFALL YR IS USUALLY FOLLOWED BY AN AVERAGE YR. HOPE WE FOLLOW THE PATTERN. RANCHERS WILL NEED TO CULL THE HERD. 2006 WAS A GOOD FORAGE YR. THIS YR RANCHERS MUST SUPPLEMENT THEIR HERD OR THEY WILL DISREPAIR ALL THEIR RIPARIAN SITES. STUDIES SHOW. PLACE THE SUPPLEMENTS FAR FROM THE RIPARIAN SITES. REDUCES THE CATTLES GRAZING TERRITORY BY A 1/4 AND KEEPS EM OUTTA THE CREEK.
