I really don't think this discussion belongs here, but since you are talking about the area where I grew up, rather than just where you drive through, I feel I must comment. The San Joaquin/Central Valley of California is so vast that it has more than one common name. You can't treat it like it's one place for agriculture. The agriculture in the north is very different from the south, and that of the west is very different from the east. The source of water for agriculture on the east side is underground or from canals that originate in the Sierra Nevada. Each drought has put pressure on both sources, but agriculture still thrives. The biggest issue on the east side is that the population keeps expanding into the farm land. As a result the water table keeps going lower. The source of water on the west side is underground and the Sacramento river delta. The delta water was promised to farmers but never fully delivered. When the wetlands started to disappear the water rations were set ever lower (thus the signs about the government). With large populations, wild lands, and agriculture all fighting for the same water something is going to have to give. This is not a matter of over-regulation, but one of necessary resource management. Better ways of using the water with less waste, both for the residents and by farmers is the only reasonable solution, and of course, people like our friend here will cry foul about that, but this is simply a natural result of having so many people living in such close quarters. You can't just pretend it's still the wild west and let everybody use all the water they'd like to. Between all the ads and the non-meteorite related political discussion on this list I am considering unsubscribing.

I am still appalled at how wildlife has become political. The spotted owl, the desert tortoise and now the non-native, spotted rainbow minnow are all listed as endangered species! It is not difficult to find a spotted owl at night but researchers look for them during the day. The desert tortoise lives underground and researchers look for them during the wrong time of the year and in the wrong places. You will not find a desert tortoise in the middle of a dried lake bed in the middle of Summer. They use the tortoise for political purposes to shut down vast areas of land. The federal government tried to relocated 1,200 to build a Chinese sponsored solar plant just to have them euphonized. They even tried to claim they were wiped out of an area they never existed in the first place. I found a dead tortoise with a transmitter glued to its back. The brass transmitter snagged on a mesquite bush and that is where the tortoise met its slow and painful demise. As far as the spotted rainbow minnow goes, we will let California politics handle this one! It sounds like somebody is trying to gain control of water rights. The interesting thing is that the aquifers are recovering nicely in LA and other counties since agricultural demand has rapidly decreased.

I've been trying to get hold of a small portion of Broken Hill but it can only be sold within Australia. Things were great before, but not now. Can I have a piece sent to my mum and have her package it up and send it out of Australia? Just curious. I think not. I would then cause problems for my mother. But then again with Victoria, it's not a problem, all the states in Australia have different rules. Damn, I could turn around and declare my property here in Southern California as Australian property.. an embassy so I can call diplomatic immunity. But I think the bottom line is, you're crossing the line and asking for some idiot to cause you trouble. Just my thoughts.

G'Day All I think the bottom line is, it's illegal. I have watched introduced plant, animal, etc.. into Australia. Even though your request seems genuine, the law is the law. As for other comments on California, I think every state has a problem in some way or another. As for here, gas prices are high, taxes are high, freeways are congested and yes Michael F. it's a free for all on the freeways. What I'd like to see is the bullshit about dredging for gold in California shoved up some political hierarchy's arse. Dredging is good for the environment, the fish love it. You stir up all that good food. But try to tell that to the politicians. That's all I've got to say on this post.

Well ... kinda true for Florida ... if you are driving a cargo van, you are REQUIRED to stop. I have a warning ticket to prove it! Chased me down, lights flashing! ... and the officer had a photograph of the sign that states such about cargo vans. Told him that I gone in and out of the state a LOT of times and had never stopped nor been stopped (in a VERY nice way!) ... his response? "It's a slow day for us!" At least he was honest and had a sense of humor ... thus a warning ticket!

There are agricultural inspection stations on I-10 and I-75 entering Florida, but there are no such stations on the many alternate routes. The inspection stations along the interstate are for commercial traffic and private drivers are not required to stop. You can drive unchecked across the border with unicorn horns and moonshine in the trunk and nobody will notice or look twice. Never been to Arizona or California.

Average gasoline prices in Arizona ($2.57/gal) are about 13% lower than California ($2.97). How does that 13% difference turn into an almost 100% (claimed) increase in your fill-up? California has more than 3 times the lane-miles of Arizona and it's drivers account for 11% of ALL of the miles driven in the entire country (more than 5 times Arizona drivers, and we have a lower fatality rate because no one from Arizona can drive worth a damn), so yes, our roads do get used and abused and could use some love. Believe it or not, road maintenance is what the fuel tax is used for, we just have a lot more roads that need maintaining. And "most" produce comes from California. And by most we're talking a huge majority. Some comes from Mexico, some from other places, too, but California is our nation's produce isle. Michael is so. Cal.

I do stay out of California unless managing one of my over-taxed investment properties.. It cost nearly twice as much to fill up my gas tank there as it does in Arizona. They were the first state to have a major city go bankrupt demonstrating their ability to manage taxpayer funds. I do not know what they do with the nations highest fuel tax. It sure isn't put into the roads. I will not drive at night in parts of California since they can't even afford to paint the lanes or put up reflectors. I once went airborne at night while pulling my enclosed car hauler trailer since California was too cheap to mark a raised railroad crossing. I have seen better roads in third-world countries. As far as produce goes, most of it now comes from Mexico.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT METEORITE INFORMATION Hi All, Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. As some of you know, I grow exotic plants, have a Greenhouse, etc. Unfortunately, CA is THE worst state when it comes To importing plants. I have taken to growing cuttings of Plumeria - the Tropical plant that produces the flowers used in Hawaii for Leis. There are some very exciting hybrids being grown in Thailand. However, though all of the other 49 states allow Importation, CA refuses - even though all cuttings have been Submerged in malathion for 30 minutes, have a governmental Declaration of same and no creature or fungus or the like could Ever survive even a 30 second dunk in the stuff. So, what I need is a friend on the list who is willing to receive Shipping and re-box them and send to me Registered Mail. Of course, I will pay all costs and get the person Free Priority Mail boxes and prepaid shipping labels So they do not have to stand in line at the post office or Anything like that. Just sign for the package, slip it in The Priority Mail box, print the prepaid label and drop It off at a post office without waiting in line. This needs to be someone in a state other than CA And is home to sign for the boxes when they arrive (a few times). If anyone is willing to do this for me I will cover all expenses And express my gratitude with a nice meteorite specimen. Please contact me off list and change the subject box So it does not read "Meteorite List" Thanks for your consideration, Michael __ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list Meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com https://pairlist3.pair.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
