    More a lazy Sunday...
    Like the last 9 months of Sundays, this one is similar.

    Hangin' around, wasting time on the 'nets, the Echos, and the TV. It's a cloudy rainy day in the Bay Area. Rain is good for us, seems like we are always on the precipace of drought lately. Hopefully we get enough of it that we don't catch fire again.

    Funny how the world works. Most people in England get way too much rain and you poor bastards don't get enough. Maybe they should build some really long plumbing from England to California to move some of the rain.

    My thinking these days is that if we don't figure out a cheap way to desalinate ocean water, California is going to turn into a burned up desert. Pump that water into aquaducts and start irrigating everywhere....

    You make that sound like it would be a bad thing. ;-)

    Eventually something needs to be done. We can figure out a vaccine for
    COVID, surely we can find a cheap way to desalinate water.

    Last thing I have heard is that some French hospital has filled a report according to which the Pfizer vaccine is not trustworthy (and in fact should not be called a vaccine at all due to the way it is supposed to work).

    I hope so. Last I read it's still a very energy inefficient process, but there are some newer prototype plants that they hope will be more efficient.
