💧 It's #WaterWednesday! We're taking you to the #AntelopeValley, where poppies are blooming 🌼, and aquifers are recharging! 💧 Every day, 60 million gallons of water are being stored underground by #AVEastKernWater for @LACountyWaterworks customers and other AV residents.

A gem from 1967 Hugo Winner The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein: "Limiting the freedom of news ‘just a little bit’ is in the same category with the classic example ‘a little bit pregnant.’ We are not yet free nor will we be as long as anyone... controls our news."
