Well if we dont run out of water then we'll probably get hit by bird flu or some of the local terrorists anyway.

Kind of scary we got some mass murderers now running around Phx.

The city has definitely too big. I like the old days when the cactus actually bloomed.

good luck

<<AZ might get the Colo River water first>>

I believe by law California is entitled to x percent (or an absolute amt.) of the water, as well as a portion of hydro power generated in Arizona.

Lake Powell was planned subsequent to a period of exceptionally wet weather, only the planners didn't know the water flows were an anomaly. I doubt any of us will live to see it full again.

My first visit to Phoenix was in the early 1950's when the population was only 60,000. It was not nearly as hot day or night back then, but the heat island since created ensures that it will be forever much warmer and receive less rain.
