Arlus, one correction,
you should have written all of Southern California and
much of Central. The irrigation of ice plants and
other exotics on highway medians is a disgrace.
California has a 'mediteranean' climate and they want
it to be Hawaii.
The water isnot there to do it so they are draining
much of the western aquifer for ornamental irrigation.

The national disgrace is about to become a national
disaster.
