Supposed to be getting work done. But I sat down. And found myself down the rabbit hole of chicken breeding and ideas on meat crosses. And now I've got future visions of my lovely sustainable farm business lol. Ok, I think I might have a few minutes before the little one wakes up. I hope everyone else's day is more productive then mine!

The Mud slides will not be because of buildings on hills. The fire destroyed the vegetation there. Mud slides will involve places Like this hill at the Sonoma raceway

The grass is gone that held the hills together.

Also, flat land in the middle of a City was destroyed. The houses on hills are in Marin county. Different place

What a mess!

PGandE, our power company here, has had more charges brought up against them this week too. I like that they are being held accountable but worry that they will figure out a way to make us pay for their faulty maintenance. PGandE is trying to blame the fires on global warming!

stupid. What, never been fires before?

Like the sewage people here in town. A friend had a house in town (in ALASKA), and a city sewage pipe froze which caused 4 houses on a cul-de-sac to flood with ALL of the uphill city sewage.

The city tried to argue that it was not their fault for the design flaw... (sure, why would pipes in Alaska ever risk getting frozen?? )

They wanted to give the hone owners ZERO money for 4 inches of city sewage standing in their houses.

Finally after MUCH fighting, the city gave each home owner 10k. it cost about 40 k per home owner to fix.

yes it is like that!

Estimated cost to PGE for home damage is over 3 billion. They only have 800million in insurance. They want to push the rest of the cost onto us when they did not maintain the power lines correctly or have adequate insurance

That's a crime! How awful for those home owners.

Somehow when things like that happen, it seems the customers always pay for it. Now watch and see if the head of the company gets a nice bonus in the next year or so.

Oh geeze!

And gross!

So a random share; I had a project once that required me to measure down to the bottom of sewar man holes.
It was a pretty gross project, I don't recommend it.
