producerbadbob: Greetings to All
SYSTEM: Please welcome ljs who just joined the chat.
ljs: what exactly is LAFCO and what do they do, or not?
producerbadbob: will address that in a few ljs

onion_grower: I support changing military retirement to a 401c type instead of retirement at 20. At least partial. Many officers and NCOs would be better off getting out at 14,16 or 18 and being in the inactive or active reserve.
onion_grower: A passed over lieutenant, LCDR, captain or major hanging on for 20 is often not very motivated or effective.
Carl: Passed over Lt or Captains don't stay in for 20. They are forced out
onion_grower: Too many officers take off two years to get a masters degree. Some take off four years to get two!. For example, Congressman Martha McSally, retired USAF colonel. They would be better off doing exchange tours with other services or with our allies.
SYSTEM: Please welcome Sungold who just joined the chat.
Sungold: Good rainy Tuesday
Sungold: Why do they have to take two years off to get a degree. I know a lot of folks who got degrees while working, especially law enforcement
Sungold: Mostly masters degrees
onion_grower: Visit Navy Postgraduate School in Monterrey next time you are there.
onion_grower: The U.S. should model the Israelis.
Sungold: Wow audio is really off, there is news on chat and Carl is talking about chat room subjects on radio
onion_grower: Exchange tours are a great preparation for flag. I would like to see the USAF select flag officers who did an exhange tour with the Israelis instead of a masters degree.
producerbadbob: stream appears good, suggest a reboot of browser.
producerbadbob: under certain conditions it picks up the wrong file from the server.
producerbadbob: it should not lag that badly. I can also have Brad do a reboot but that kills everything for several minutes.
Carl: Guest sick. Call in and become part of trhe shopw
onion_grower: The services should have more mustangs. More limited duty officers not subject to up or out. The USMC is best at this. USN worst.
onion_grower: The Israelis and Austrians have pilots who spend their whole career flying. It is a career path like an airline pilot. No need for a masters degree to prepare for flag.
onion_grower: The Iranians can always move their centrifuges to N. Korea and ship them oil to run them.
onion_grower: Iran and N. Korea are partners. There were N. Koreans killed when the Israeli's bombed the Syrian reactor.
onion_grower: Iran has cheap energy. N. Korea has absolute security. Its facilities are deep underground.

Angel: Good Morning! My first day back!
producerbadbob: hello angel
Angel: Yay the rain!! So glad some water relief for the folks in Ca using 20% of the water!
Angel: Good morning Bad Bob!
SYSTEM: Please welcome sflow who just joined the chat.
sflow: chain controls in effect now!!!
Angel: Carly Fiarina is calling out Gov Brown!
Angel: Good morning Sflow, that's good news
sflow: ¿ello angek welcum back

Angel: “Despite the fact that California has suffered from droughts for millennia, liberal environmentalists have prevented the building of a single new reservoir
Angel: Carly Fiorina blames liberal environmentalists for Calif. water crisis
onion_grower: When Auburn dam was cancelled, that was the end of dam building inCA. The environmentalists will never allow another.
Angel: "Ms. Fiorina said that as a result, 70 percent of California’s rainfall “washes out to sea” every year, The Blaze reported."
sflow: i-5 north lakehead-44east shingletown and hwy36
Angel: I think the issues is the pitting of the farmers against the Ca residents
Angel: Ag uses 80% of the water in Ca
onion_grower: Farmers overwhelmingly vote Republican. Progressives want them to move away.
Angel: Yet the residents are being sanctioned when water is flowing to save the smelt
onion_grower: Have you read the Record Searchlight. 100% anti farmer, anti rancher.
Angel: The politicians are going to blame the farmers with these headlines
Angel: True onion
producerbadbob: I was absolutely appalled at those headlines
Angel: I am too but I can tell you my kids live in Sac and the residents are being fined big time
Angel: They are throwing the farmers under the bus instead of keeping the water upstream
sflow: talking heads
sflow: chris o
Sungold: CA produces a huge amount of the food for the US. What are they thinking?
onion_grower: The Nature Conservacy says a properly managed forest uses 25% less water. Instead of a forest choked with small growth losing water to evapotransporation, a thinned forest allows water to go into the groundwater.
Sungold: Golf courses will survive with much less water. Lawns may not be emerald green, but they can still golf with slightly green
onion_grower: An acre of golf course uses much less water than an acre of cotton.

SYSTEM: scott just signed off.
Sungold: Time to go....enjoy the rain
SYSTEM: Please welcome scott who just joined the chat.
scott: Now that we have been conserving water for the last two years now they want us to cut back 25%?
onion_grower: I want to see a picture of Silas Lyons in a cowboy hat. Or a logger's hard hat. Riding a horse.
scott: I'd rather see him on a train out of town
onion_grower: He's harmless. He tells us what progressives really think. Liberals get 40% of the vote at most in Shasta county.
scott: Tells me there is room for improvment, lets shoot for 10%
