The most important thing is water to drink. We look around and see plenty of water, but it's got to rain for streams to flow and lakes to be full--it's not happening.

When it gets hot, it gets bad quicker because you've got all these living plants not only using water but losing water.

This 'master plan' was flawed -- it could not forecast which areas would be annexed and received municipal sewer and water.

We use the coastline as much as the sea otters. And we take fish from the water, we swim in the water, surf in the water. And what's happening to the sea otter could very well be happening to a much larger picture than just the animals themselves.

My escape is to just get in a boat and disappear on the water.

A lot of people like snow. I find it to be an unnecessary freezing of water.
