"We desperately need to prepare for a much drier future in the American west — and do it more equitably this time. It is imperative that we learn from our past mistakes." On @LastWeekTonight, @iamjohnoliver breaks down the #CORiver Basin's challenges: https://t.co/iot0edYnoH

@LukeRunyon I was driving down Broadway one year during Dead & Co and some dudes (definitely Deadheads) just got out of their car and left it in the middle the street.

@jfleck This is my life in Boulder these days.

“Don’t even fart outside.”

[Boulder County Sheriff’s Office @BldrCOSheriff]

Boulder County, we need to work together on this. We are under EXTREME FIRE CONDITIONS today. Absolutely no burning, fires, flames, or sparks. As someone once said - "Don't even fart outside." Seriously, please do nothing that could possibly cause a fire.

[Sara Porterfield, PhD @ParadoxofPlace]

Getting real tired of this.

[Sara Porterfield, PhD @ParadoxofPlace]

I think all of Boulder is exhausted.

It's been a long couple of years these last few months

Evacuating because of a wildfire for the second time in 3 months. #NCARFire

We launched our inaugural #ColoradoRiver Water Leaders program last week w/ our tour of the river's lower stretch. 13 emerging #leaders from across the #watershed will study river management beyond 2025 & present findings in the fall. More details ⬇️⬇️: https://t.co/lVjsuLqg0Q

Getting an interesting view of @mwdh2o’s intake of the #ColoradoRiver, which brings this #water to an aqueduct that travels 242 miles over the desert to urban Southern California and 19 million people. #LowerColoradoRiverTour

[Haley Paul @haleyepaul]

Boat ride through @USFWSRefuges Havasu Wildlife Refuge, Topock Gorge, gorgeous. And I will admit, this Arizonan did not realize how large Lake Havasu was!! #LowerColoradoRiverTour

[Sara Porterfield, PhD @ParadoxofPlace]

@greenriverscott True!

[Sara Porterfield, PhD @ParadoxofPlace]

Looks even bigger from down here #LowerColoradoRiverTour

[Jenn Bowles 💦 @Jenn_Bowles]

And my most exciting pic so far! Our inaugural #ColoradoRiver water leaders cohort @WaterEdFdn, including @ParadoxofPlace @haleyepaul @bucci_co. They just met and will tackle a thorny issue in the basin. I have full faith in them. 😉#LowerColoradoRiverTour
