Water’s not just for lower forms of life.
Of the myriads of people in this state I’ve been talking with recently, I was most impressed by the excellent Pete Weisser of the Department of Water Resources. He won a Lifetime Achievement Award from the California State Information Officers Council (SiOC) and he was in the California Health Department investigating the Anacin laced with cyanide a few years ago!
He said a lack of water in slk could be a health problem, and suggested I contact the County Health Department, as they have “emergency powers.” (not enough to get back to me yet, however.)
He also said: “Clean available water is a basic in civilized society.”
Thanks for my new mantra, Pete! I can think of so many other ways to start this sentence, too, starting with Chocolate is a basic…, so more fun ahead.
