    Watching places like Houston and DFW grow is interesting. Seeing the snow evaporate in Canada is not so cool.
    Great. Looks like I won't be working much today...

    • The clear cutting in the Coast Range west of the Willamette Valley is really something.

      • Antarctic glaciers (Schiarse, Polarforschung) have grown while Arctic have shrunk.

        EDIT: Also, watching Las Vegas grow and Lake Mead shrink is very interesting.

          Interestingly enough, despite all of that growth, Vegas uses less water today than it did as far back as 1994.

                  You look in a maps and geography thread and you dont find the google time lapse stuff UT posted to be compelling?? What are you looking for?

                  • Interesting to watch South Sandy and Draper go from farmland to completely developed as Point of the Mountain becomes more of a nub.

                    • That google link is very, ummm, compelling. At least to me. It is shocking, for example, watching the disappearance of the snows/glaciers of Kilimanjaro.

                        You are obviously way too easily impressed.

                            No doubt. I would be embarrassed to admit how much time I have wasted on the google link already.

                              Yes. But what does that have to do with our water usage?

                                I'm just wondering how you are sucking less water from Lake Mead. You should just give your piss water to whoever is downstream (i.e., California) rather than recycling it. That is what we do here with Houston.
