watershed rehab

[kmusser]

So here at work we have the Watershed Rehabilitation program. I can't help thinking what the watersheds must have done to get assigned to rehab. Do they have behavioral problems? Get caught hanging out with the wrong crowd? Underage pollution? Pentex addiction? What?

So has nature been waterboarding the watersheds this weekend?

[kmusser]

Maybe, but what did they do to deserve it? Or are some watersheds just submissive by nature? I think the Puget Sound likes it.

I don't know if there's a connection, but the other day I received a weird dream vision about a mythical/fictional project to wall off the world's watersheds and make each of them their own countries. (Which would probably make the Mississippi and Amazon watersheds among the biggest nations.) Perhaps the walls were meant to keep the watersheds from becoming bad influences on one another.

BTW -- unrelated issue -- is it my imagination, or does reading A Game of Thrones take longer than other 850+ page books? (About 240 pages to go. ... But then there's the matter of the sequels.)

That would be really cool. Meet your new Axis of Evil: Hackensack, Cuyahoga, and Kanawha. (Hackensack was part of Hudson, but achieved independance after a long and brutal terrorism campaign).

[kinksville]

There's your justification for the waterboarding. But yeah...I think some of them like it.

>(Hackensack was part of Hudson, but achieved independance after a long and brutal terrorism campaign)

So I'm guessing that -- long, long ago -- New York Bay was something of a river valley (before erosion, rising sea levels, etc.) with the Hudson and Hackensack joining before emptying into the Atlantic.

Just a guess.:-)

So, what do we do about the small spring-fed lake in PA that is in both the Mississippi and St. Lawrence watersheds?

[chuck-lw.livejournal.com]

Hmmmm.

Maybe endless war between Mississippi and St. Lawrence?:-)

Perhaps something akin to a Kashmir region dispute.

Like many mega-series Game of Thrones starts slowly, it does pick up, but the first book is largely set-up for the sequels, the pace accelerates though each book - going through A Storm of Swords you have to watch out for whiplash.

Yep. It's quite obvious they're setting up some huge battle royale. (Nasty things waking up north of the wall, barbarians about to cross the sea, battle for the crown, other battles for revenge, etc.) I'm just experiencing a weird effect with pages passing by slower than other books. Oh well, I'm enjoying it despite the pace. I'll keep reading.

they're shooting up, man.

[winterbadger]

They're like Fallen Women; they are Soiled Doves, who need to be cleansed and protected from the evil men who seek to corrupt them!

In that case I suspect Gila is in trouble, with only Colorado looking after it (and considering all the scrapes the Colorado has been through), it's just a matter of time before it gets cought hanging out with LA and Mono Lake and doing salt water on the sly.

Pentex addiction?

Now that's pretty obscure. ;)

[kmusser]

For my friends? Now I'm thinking I ought to make a Pentex icon.
