That California drought

Two pairs of pictures, both of California, from different vantage points, showing the severity of the drought taking place just now in that state.  I think these two give terrific indications of exactly what's taking place.

Fascinating.

Scary but fascinating.

Below, two photos of Folsom Lake, just North of Sacramento. 

This is how serious the situation is.

Entertainment overnight--beautiful insanity

Love

Some things about this: One, I'd love to do it. Two, I wish I had the guts. Three, I envy their chutzpah for being able to do it. Wow. What a rush.

I suddenly want to do this

I can't snowboard but I'd try. And heck, why couldn't I just ski down the mountain in an LED suit like this? Oh, yeah. I want to do this.

Overnight: Around the world in 5 minutes
