This Idea Of Pumping Mississippi River Water To the Colorado River And Arizona?

 I noticed this story posted this week....because of lessening river waters to Nevada, Arizona and California....there's talk of some 'pipe' to bring Mississippi River water to the west.  Matter of how it'd work?  Unknown.

For reference....the Colorado River officially starts at Lake La Poudre Pass....about 30 miles west of Fort Collins.  

So the idea is...you'd build some canal or 'pipe' to bring Mississippi water to the 'foot' of the Rocky Mountains.

How I would imagine this working?  I'd go to two states....Iowa and Nebraska and offer up some deal for the purchase of five or six areas where huge reservoirs would be built (probably in the 2,000 acre-range each and thirty feet deep), which I would allow some locals to get irrigation off of.

Then I'd pump the Mississippi water through each reservoir, and reach the point at Fort Collins where you'd require a fair amount of pumping to reach the Long Draw Reservoir (which leads into the Colorado River).  

Inch by inch....I'd start to raise the water flow into the Colorado....probably reach two to three feet  above where it is today.  

Cost factor?  Oh, its to be into the 100-billion range, and easily take a decade to accomplish.  

Selling this idea?  It helps to have Nebraska and Iowa attached....then you bring up the topic of flood control for those who've suffered from sprig floods on the Mississippi.  

Observations

 1.  I noticed some video off social media....woke-teacher who was trying to get some 6th grade set up for pronoun games.  So she came to this one kid....who responded that his pronouns were Banana and Rock.  This was not the expectation of the dimwit teacher, and she was apparently troubled over this.

I studied the situation for a minute, and then it kinda hit me.....Banana and Rock can't be pronouns....they are nouns.  Depending on use....they could be regular nouns or possibly proper nouns.

Yeah, those noun-trouble-maker kids....you got to watch them.

2.  It's just odd....the WH came up and admitted this whole 'inflation-money-act' deal.....will do nothing much to curb inflation.

Observations

 1.  There are two things I've gotten out of the House 6-Jan hearings.  First, it tended to make the House members appear useless and marginal.  Maybe that was some intended goal, or just the way I perceived the 'show' going.  Second, to this point....no one has explained who opened the doors to the capital building...which seems odd.  

2.  This Paul Pelosi 'pull-over' by the California police for a DWI....now indicates he had drugs in his system, but they aren't saying what.

In most states?  As a minimum....you'd be losing your car insurance, and likely not getting your license back for at least a year.

Ten Things Likely To Come By The End Of 2022

 1.  As classes start back up this month (August)....at least 250,000 kids are likely missing and on home-schooling.  Primary reason?  Pronouns, marginal instructors, and propagandized schools.  Roughly 10,500 teachers (mostly in grade-schools) will be let go.  The only places recruiting for the 10,500?  Mostly urbanized areas with rough neighborhoods....where the pronoun teachers won't last long.

2.  Liz Cheney ends up at CNN as a round-table 'guest' similar to Fox's Five.  No one takes her serious.

3.  Latino vote in the mid-term shifting to Republican candidates, and shocking the leadership of the Democratic Party.

4.  Brittney Griner, WNBA player held in Russia.....will be traded and arrive back in the US....to be interviewed countless times about her appreciation of President Biden's efforts.  

5.  Someone will invent something called the Biden-Index....to reflect the true economy and true recession. It'll be considered the least reliable index to project current conditions of the nation.  

6.  Twitter court action reaches a stage where the judge suggests to Twitter that Elon holds a 'ace' or two, and either you lessen the purchase price (probably going from $44-billion down to $34-billion), or drop the case entirely.  A massive court case starts up by stock-holders...against the board/CEO.  

7.  Joe Biden will be diagnosed with Covid-Brain-Fog by the end of 2022.  A discussion ensues....whether he's fogged-up too much to be President, or just marginally fogged-up (he can't do math problems for example).

8.  3,000 Russian conscripts arrive after five days of boot-camp at the 'front' in the Ukraine.....with 90-percent of them dead by the end of 2022.  

9.  At least ten gentlemen from CNN (journalists) will have Monkey-pox before the end of 2022.

10.  At least two European governments will 'collapse' by the end of 2022....requiring new elections (besides Italy).  

The Fear of Covid Business

 I sat there for five minutes looking at the picture, and the words attached.

On a risk-factor?  I'd rate the Pope at near '11' on a scale of one to ten....for Covid-death under this type of situation. 

Game of Thrones

Finally, two weeks ago....I started the first season of Game of Thrones.  I know....I'm about eleven years behind the times.  Living in Germany does that.

Yesterday, I finished the first season. 

So my five observations:

1.  It's fairly brutal, and on a general scale....I'd rank it '9' out of ten on violence.  

2.  The script is one of the best around and I'd rank it one of the top ten best-written scripts for a TV series.

3.  One of the big negatives is that there must be forty significant characters in season one, and it's a continual mess to remember who is what.

4.  Twist and turns?  I'd suggest with each single episode.....there must be two four-star twists, and you just don't see it coming.

5.  Finally, I'll admit....I'm addicted, and will have to watch the full series.  

I Had To Look This Up

 This popped up today on social media.....some guy attempting to watch a movie off Hulu's network.

So the warning is: 'This film contains flashing lights, themes of trauma, and an unlikeable female protagonist'.

I grew up in the 1960s/1970s, and frankly....there just weren't warnings over anything you saw at the theater or on TV....so this is all new for me.

The most frightful movie, without warnings ever?  Well....the Exorcist.  That was pretty 'wild'.

So I had to look up protagonist, to make sure I understood the full meaning.  When you have a movie or TV show, and it's full 'push' or dynamic is resting on the shoulders of one single character....that individual is a protagonist.  Without him.....the script won't work. 

Examples?  Dirty Harry, James Bond, Norman Bates.  

So the question is....do you really need to warn folks over a movie....that might have a male or female protagonist situation? 

If you follow this logic....shouldn't there be warnings over people dancing in the movie, or a warning over people sipping beer/cocktails, or a warning over some trampy woman offering up some hot lust?  

Somewhere in twenty years....I expect at least a dozen warnings to come up as a movie starts.....warning you about men with moustaches, women with exposed boobs, fake zombies, people sipping a zero-calorie drink, or kids farting. 

Frankly, society is coming to an end, and this BS is just speeding up the process.
