Get a few Bonzais. It'll fit and survive in your Vegas home.
You're welcome!

The problem I have with the reporting and labeling is the measurement. What is 100% snowpack? Did a leprechaun run down the slope of the Rockies and tell a scientist what 100% snowpack is? I'm sure the teams measuring have some human made-up number assigned as 100%.

A month ago, when the California fires were in the news cycle daily, President Trump made a comment that California releases water they need to fight fires into the Pacific. A CalFire dude retorted that Shasta had plenty of water for fighting the fires and they were well-sourced with water--so what does that have to do with fresh water released into the ocean? I'm not denying the significance of water or the conservation of our resources--I just find the truth both scarce and obscured by humans claiming the truth is obvious and clear--and We are told what to believe.

The tech for RO and desalination is old. Kuwait started doing it in 1951. 90% of their water is from the ocean. It is scalable capacity. We will get hit by a meteor or wiped out by robots before we drink all the water.

We pipe fossil fuels from Canada to the Gulf. When we are thirsty enough, we will be piping water to the demand.

The Minneapolis area is really great. I lived there for two years. Many, many beautiful trees and lakes everywhere. Be sure to stop for the Geese that cross the road occasionally.

Nope. I’m outta here. I’ve done my time. My parents brought me here in 1971. I went k-3 here, then we moved all over the west until about 1987 when I graduated. So spare me your snark on what will fit in my Vegas home. I’ve been here ever since. Go plant your bonsai trees. You know where.

Not to mention those sub zero temperatures that persist much of the winter! Mm, mm toasty.

True, but you will have that anywhere in the Midwest. I have lived many places and I found the quality of life in the Minneapolis area to be very good. I was an idiot for leaving there.

That being said, I still really like Las Vegas and its "heartbeat" as NLV gal would say.

As an ex-lifelong resident of Des Moines/West Des Moines, Iowa I highly recommend it for a great place to live.

You are required to suffer through some hellish winters. Something I could not do when I acquired my diaphragm/lung problem.

I really miss green. Even in Summerlin there's not enough. I miss a real spring when everything is blooming. I miss gentle rains that go on for hours and the great, booming storms that send you to the basement. I don't miss mowing. I don't miss moving snow. I appreciate being able to breathe better.

We all have to make choices.

The only reason you even have spring other places is because you have to suffer through a miserable winter and a miserable fall where you watch everything die. I’ve done MY time in lousy weather locations with a bunch of trees and let me tell you trees do not bring any happiness. Trees are overrated and I’m sick of seeing them everywhere. Cut them down and turn them into paper or lumber for arcade cabinets

I don’t know how anyone has the Internet or a TV and sees where they could be living - a beautiful place with great weather - and chooses instead somehow to live in a cold, miserable, snowy, rainy environment. We should study these people, must be something going on lol.

Summerlin is incredibly green. My friend who moved there a year ago always posts pictures, it’s greener than Portland where it rains constantly. I don’t know where you’re living if you’re complaining about trees and green, clearly not Summerlin since it’s green throughout and loaded with trees like it’s a completely different state. Personally I don’t prefer that, I like the beauty of the desert and mountains. I am escaping tree-central and don’t care about some boring mundane thing like trees. I could get more excited about paint drying than a freaking tree. Anyway, palm trees are the prettiest and coolest trees.
