California facing 20-year dought:  Cartoonist sees many changes, but speculates that Southern Californians will still find ways to have green lawns.

I used to fly into Burbank frequently.

On the last bit of the leg from Phoenix, the air lane follows the aqueduct that California used to steal water from the Colorado River. The plane would cross a mountain range and I would see a swath of green lawns, almost every one with a swimming pool in the backyard, all made possible by the Colorado River (which no longer reaches the sea).

I always found the view vaguely disgusting.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
