Personal, People, Interviews, and Quotes
“Things are never so bad that they can’t get worse.” – Bill Moyers

'Mni wiconi' - 'Water is life' - Lakota saying (tnx @christyzen in 'Just Water' (2/e) p. 146)

"The problem of water is partly an educational and cultural issue." - @Pontifex (tnx @christyzen in 'Just Water' (2/e) p. 146)

“The next time you see an ad for a water charity featuring a cute, dark-skinned child and a deep-voiced announcer who says, ‘Last year, we drilled 50 wells in Terra Buena and one was in Rosa’s village,’ you need to ask, ‘How many of those wells are still working?’” - @WaterWired

"Dr. Jill Biden and the @WSJ have done more to make academics see the Ed.D. as a legitimate degree than any human being ever. But we're still not increasing pay in the College of Education!" - @ass_deans

“There are only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun, a verb, and 9/11.” – @JoeBiden, about @RudyGiuliani, 30 October 2007

“A man of the West will fight over water, women, and gold, and generally in that order.” – former Sen. Barry Goldwater, R-AZ (1909 - 1998)

"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl (quoted in @mtlgazette via @TheWeek)

“You have all the watches, we have all the time." - Taliban official, referring to the USA

Speaking of 'underground rivers': does anyone recall when the term 'atmospheric rivers' was met with great derision?

Enjoyed educating a few of my younger colleagues on some useful old acronyms: KISS = Keep It Simple, Stupid!; GIGO = Garbage In, Garbage Out; OWG = Old White Guy/Gal/Girl; SNAFU = Situation Normal All Fouled Up (sanitized version); BSO = Bright Shiny Object/Bullshit Organization.

Forgot one of the 'old' acronyms: FUBAR = Fouled Up Beyond All Recognition (sanitized version). When I taught these to some foreign students, one from a former USSR state volunteered to use it in a sentence. "My country is FUBAR!" was the enthusiastic response. My reply? 'WTF'?

Groundwater and Hydrogeology
“You guys live in one of the wettest parts of the US. 50 or so inches of rain per year. You’ve got one of the great rivers of the world right next door, and you're fighting over groundwater. I mean, that's like a soap opera to a hydrogeologist.”- @WaterWired in @DeSotoTimes

Volcanic rocks can have features that mimic the caves found in limestones - lava tubes. I've been in them on Kauai. Photo is from Lava Beds National Monument in CA. I'm unaware of water-filled lava tubes that produce water when drilled. https://bit.ly/39PzvJ9
