@cfishman Water needs to flow to the sea. No amount of infrastructure could contain these flows, anyway. The sad thing is how much pollution and solid waste it's carrying.

Deflated, but not down in the dumps. Neighbor's Eagles balloon refuses trip to the landfill.

Cleaning up an address book after 23 years is like browsing a scrapbook of your professional life.

More than 2,300 entries, some of which bring back fond or painful career memories.

Some who passed, but I find it difficult to delete them.

@CoryCopelandH2O Rail usually has dedicated stations that have shade, water, bathrooms, more security. A bus stop might be a sign on a pole next to a dirt lot in 111F heat.

Used to ride an express bus to work, which was awesome, but some routes stop every 200 yards.

@SNWA_H2O @crystal_zuelke @neorsd How can we compete with an agency that embraces poop jokes? C'mon!

@CoryCopelandH2O Visit St. Thomas, the small town that was (once) inundated by Lake Mead. Since you're close, you've got to see Valley of Fire, too.

@Ian_Bellio @CoryCopelandH2O All good suggestions, Cory, but this is my favorite. Be sure to read up on the places of note on this paddle. Bighorn sheep are commonly visible, the water crystal clear and as long as it's not windy, February is an excellent time.

@CoryCopelandH2O @annalisemporter It is pretty, but not in every aspect. Unfortunately urban detritus is also a feature of the wash.

I'm always excited to participate in @ImagineH2O vetting process. It's fun to see the solutions of the future. Some great potential in this round.

@OTerrifying That's just offal.

@Sorenenelson What is your perspective on centralized control over water issues at the state level? Should local jurisdictions have more or less control? Why? What would be major obstacles to implementing your policy vision?

@CoryCopelandH2O For water efficiency, none better than the WaterSmart Innovations Conference in Las Vegas. Over 100 presentations and energetic, diverse attendees.

@jfleck @h2oexecutive Did they get a letter from anyone named Amelia?

@UTAHSavesH2O @UTSnowHydro Density matters, but 10" of snow is typically about one inch of water. As such, 124 inches of snow would sustain a lawn in the desert for about three weeks during summer.

That's something to think about.

@NWSVegas I saw flakes on my commute from Southern Highlands. They were driving on I-15.
