In northeastern California, exceptional drought (D4) was expanded across the northern Sierras this week, while in northern Modoc County, a one-category improvement (from D4 to D3) was rendered to the depiction to more accurately reflect local conditions. In east-central California near Yosemite National Park, the average surface elevation of Mono Lake stood at 6378.9 feet, as of April 15th. This is the lowest surface elevation of the lake since early 1996. The target elevation is 6391 feet. For the past two weeks, extreme to exceptional drought (D3-D4) covered two-thirds of California.
In northern Nevada, a one-category degradation was made to northwestern Elko County, while in southwestern Montana, small improvements were made to the drought depiction in Gallatin County. In Washington state, record/near-record low snowpack supports the expansion of moderate drought (D1) across the northern Cascades, and the introduction of moderate drought in northeastern Washington.

So, I'll be stupid too. You see, I need a bit of guidance being that I'm in the drought area.
What do I take to the streets and use for a chant? I gotta have a chant, a target person, place or thing, if I intended to be a respectable looter, rapist and in general anarchist, maybe even leading the crowd in my community down the street.
Hey, did you hear that our governor is fixin' to sign a open carry bill for those that have concealed carry permits? Now, you can take that action and run with it by drumming up a whole conspiracy about how that came about since our cows are dying and the windmills are pumping air and the lakes are all drying up so that we can't event get our outboards in the water without hauling those sucker all of the way to the danged coast, and we can march down Congress Street in Austin loaded for bear and put the fear into the establishment. But I sometimes wonder how any of that helps us with the water situation. Oh, I forgot, we blame Washington and that there HARRP program up there in Alaska or even the Russian's with their device in Siberia!

I was at a large meeting last night here in Cali. People are fighting the construction of the high speed rail. The route is supposed to go from LA to SF. The state narrowly passed a bond in 2008 I believe, for 9.1 billion to build. The cost is now at 68 billion and they are still in the planning phase! Needless to say, we residents, are fighting to stop it and are pretty upset that this rail is such a priority for Governor Brown, instead of new water infrastructure such as desalinization plants!
We may have a train in 20 years that takes no one from LA to SF since, there will be no water to sustain us! (Not to mention, it will cost as much as a plane flight, will not really go 200 miles an hour, but as slow as 55 miles an hour at times, etc.)

Updated!, I had apparently deleted the picture in my file, so it was not showing up.
