TODAY’S MEMORY TRICK:     

“GSFFTPSILDOTMIDPOUFMRWPWL11395ALWWTDHOSFI1980”

Much clearer video despite being a bit further away huh?   Audio gets a little iffy at times but if necessary (anything truly worth hearing) I might be able  to synchronize the stand alone audio recording with the meeting video? (….that has potential entertainment value for future endeavors….{sinister laughter in background}.).   Facial expressions are lost as well, but again, if something really fascinating or atypical happens I could probably insert another camera perspective (might be trouble with the different formats…really don’t know yet).   I believe these first couple of offerings went faster even though longer in length.  We’ll see as we go along.

I just cannot continue to spend so much time on each meeting – usually finishing the prior month’s meeting only a week or so before the next – that’s no way to live…. suffering through and reliving every moment of how our LOCAL PUBLIC AGENCY IS BEING INCREMENTALLY SOLD TO PRIVATE CONCERNS ONE PIECE AT A TIME – only to finish that meeting report just before the next monthly meeting production by the CSD.   Don’t misunderstand.  I believe heart and mind that what is being done is absolutely wrong and unethical on a number of levels – primarily forcing the MR WECS of the subdivision  to subsidize special benefit GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION service for properties outside the subdivision, which are therefore also outside the permitted PLACE OF USE for MERCED RIVER WATER per the water license…..

This all sounds familiar doesn’t it?   Like a perpetual broken record – or skipping CD –whatever – REPETITIVE!
Squeaky hinges get oil.

BUT……. I HAVE WORK TO DO!  I have dead trees I need to fall for firewood this winter, and rodent riddled irrigation lines to repair so….we’ll try this new process for a while.  The longer uploads also provide sufficient time to get some of the other stuff done while simultaneously providing longer meeting presentations.  (boo hoo hoo poor Lewie doesn’t have enough time to do what he wants…..ahhhhh.  Pitiful isn’t it?  Just plain pitiful.   But what about US VIEWERS?   VIEWERS HAVE TO TOLERATED THIS STUFF FOR EVEN LONGER PERIODS OF TIME AS WELL!)

yes, life can be so bitterly unfair —lol.

So far – so good with the new camera.

So our water company is down to only one employee in operations?  We must now contract with third parties to run our own treatment plant and distribution operations – yet none of these (and other) horrible consequences are management’s doing?

Yes, absolutely I have compassion for Pete Kampa and what he must deal with but, at the same time am very cognizant this entire nightmare was brought about by one very clear and easily understood point:

Our surface water treatment plant (SWTP) was intentionally being turned into a GROUNDWATER SUBSTITUTION FACILITY FOR THIRD PARTY SPECIAL INTEREST LAND DEVELOPERS OUTSIDE THE MERCED IRRIGATION DISTRICT PLACE OF USE FOR MERCED RIVER WATER PER WATER LICENSE 11395 A LICENSE WITH WHICH THIS DISTRICT HAS OPERATED SINCE FORMATION IN 1980.)

it’s not that confusing….here’s an easy trick to remember the point:

Our

“SWTP”

is being changed into a

“GSFFTPSILDOTMIDPOUFMRWPWL11395ALWWTDHOSFI1980”.

 

 

(You know, little memory tricks like the one above will certainly help me recall things as I get older!)

 

 

My best to you and yours, Lew

Yes, I’m joking.

but I’d still like to buy a vowel for $25 to solve the …..
