An even better reason than claiming drought:

'The additional revenue will be used to “cover the costs of importing and treating water, as well as finance climate change adaptations to infrastructure and make up for declines in revenue due to widespread conservation efforts,” according to the Times.'

Yes.. All that conservation we did (if you did of course), earned us more expensive water.

Hope you find yourself abiding, taking it easy, and keeping your mind limber.

“…crisis he can look better at dealing with.” I swear I didn’t have a stroke just now.

Pretty sure Netanyahu wants Trump re-elected so he’s going to make Biden’s life as difficult as possible. I think Biden loses favor no matter what he does when it comes to Gaza, unless there’s another crisis he can better at good dealing with.

I’m guessing he will live until about 6 weeks after losing the election, then have an accident with a 5 story window. Given how long Prigozhin lasted. .

Happy InDudependence day dudes. While Americans observe this day to celebrate their victory over their British overlords, Dudeists use this holiday to affirm their psychological independence from any powers-that-be. Slavishly following any cause, flag or ideology (including that of Dudeism) is dangerous and hampers personal growth. Our indudependence brings us together.

“He who doesn’t remember much from college, Learns to live on his allowance.

He who digs Dudeism deeply,

Does not become a fucking fascist.

Dudeists follow 2500 years of beautiful tradition,

Pooling resources, flowing far, freeing spirits.
 

Cultivate love in the true sense of the word, 

And you won’t need to scam anyone here.

Care about the rug in your residence, 

And it will tie everything together.

Create camaraderie among the bowling team, 

And you’ll enter the next round robin.

Fit right in to your time and place, 

And you’ll be in a unique position.

 
Therefore:
Know a residence by its renter,
Know a bowler by its team,
Know a team by its league,
Know a league by its lanes,
Know the lanes by its location,
Know a location by loving it, in the true sense of the word.
 
How can I enter a world of no-pain?
By loving the world,
Even when it’s full of goddamn morons.”

Excerpt From The Dude De Ching - Free Edition Oliver Benjamin

Perhaps he was not a Dudeist in total, but this passage calls to me as a way to describe abiding.

Knowing you're gonna run into some reactionaries when you head out into the world and steel yourself to abide; pretty good advice I think.

Sometimes there's a community, well, a community for its time and place. I have to tell ya, we fit right in here.

Dudeism

If you don't know about Dudeism, and I know a good many don't. It is a good community to learn a bit about Dudeism, reflect on a fine piece of cinema called The Big Lebowski, or just try and abide with all us sinners.

I won't keep ya, there's plenty going on so I hope you'll think about visiting.

Take it easy Dude.
