Our country has a real fresh water problem, in many areas the water shortage is critical. I would like to share this that will surely help in water conservation as well as our unemployed veterans:

Eco-Vets!

They will hire vets to install low flush toilets. A Vet can have a well paying job and 9000 gallons of water per year will be saved! They can hire wounded worriors too.

It may be that the unintended consequence of aederal water policy will will do more harm than good. When New Mexico legislature created the New Mexico Irrigation and Water RIghts Board in 1897 the Board realized that the customs and traditions and legal basis of water use throughout the territory was virtually incomprehensible and inconsistent. Ultimately, in 1905 a Water Code was enacted based on ancient principles. In 1907 it was modified to the system in place today. By enacting federal legislation it is likely to shut the provate sector out of creating water projects. In New Mexico this has happened in recent years. For example, municipalities and the universties and small mutual domestic community systems can withhold water rights from use for 40 years. And, of course as the 40 year clock winds down they will modify their water use plans and get another 40 years. Private parties can loose their water rights after 4 years. Also, legislation prohibits the development of aquifer storage and recharge projects by private parties. And in fact, our supreme court judges don’t even know what they are. Section 8 of the National Irrigation Act of June 17, 1902 requires that the feds follow state law and all states have their own process. A federal policy could overturn this policy that was enshrined in the McCarran Amendment.

yes that’s Medellin, I have been inlove with this city since the first time I arrived here. The vibe of a cosmopolitan city that is doing so much hard work trying to overcome its dark past is one of its best values. Then as you mentioned the fact of making foreigners to feel like Colombians is another great value.

Recife! I spent a month there while an undergraduate. First memory, getting out of the airport, all open, being driven to a coconut hut where an eight year old boy with a machete as big as he was, shaped a green coconut and put red platic straws in it for me to drink. It was awful!

Welcome back and I envey you being in Albuquerque! I finally did a talk at the local WA chapter annual meeting. Fun folks!
