The damage to the Oroville Dam Spillway is DANGEROUS. 185,000 cubic feet/s of Feather River water is coming into Lake Oroville and only 41,000 CFS is going out. The emergency 2nd Spillway may have to be used before morning, to avoid dam overflow. We need that water, and Oroville, including the dam.

David Schaedler 2/9/17 7:10 pm PST.

The 10th - the dam is 96.7% full, 5’ from the top. The broken spillway does not carry water along it all the way, the water is diverted outward about ½ way down. DS 2/10/17 Late 2/10/17 The dam is now 98.8% full. With so much rainwater entering, the damaged spillway can only remove much less than that. The rains have ceased today, but forecasts indicate more. How full can it get? ABC News 6:35 pm PST. 46 of 48 of Sacramento’s Weir’s are open. Overflow water is pouring through now. Dry, but more rain is expected. D. Schaedler 2/10/17 2/12/17 Oroville Reservoir overflows Dam. Emergency spillway in use. How long will this go on? DS 8:00 am PST.

My thoughts: Women’s issues

    I know about women’s issues. I’ve been reading about them, today. I knew that women didn’t get the same salary as men, all over. Nobody paid women over men. I knew, but not as much, that there were fewer women in manage-ment than men, but I didn’t know it was their problem. It is. I didn’t know that the big argument that is over abortion was so hotly outspoken and contested. I had answers that may have been old-fashioned and out of date. I think they are. Looking at blogs on Tumblr show there are many diverse issues out there, but nobody covers them all.

    We (yes, men too) need a semi-central point to relay all this from, a single authority to stand up and deliver the speech, to be the tipping point for answers that are hopefully forthcoming, and be a place where new ideas can flow, to and from. If you think this is only a rallying cry for Hillary, it could be,  I agree to that, but so much more is needed. 

    Once again, on Tumblr under “Women’s issues” there are a plethora of stories on the good and the bad that is happening around us today. It is a game changer, and if you put yourself in the catseat and open up to the idea that these things need attention. Just like the current subject of gun control is there, so this should be. Half of the population is covered under the Constitution, equal rights. Like Civil Rights that covers everybody, this subject is related to everybody, everybody is affected and can affect this. Don’t turn away now.

I can agree!

A funny thing happens when you work on behalf of children and families. You start noticing how often politicians dismiss the problems you spend your time thinking about. They think pre-K is about naptime, not creating lifelong learners. They think unequal pay isn’t a problem, despite plenty of evidence that families rely on women’s earnings and they are being shortchanged. And forget about affordable child care, paid family leave, or paid sick days. They don’t want to hear any of it.

Want to take a Ride?

The American River bike trail, ARBT, runs with no bumps or potholes, nearly, from downtown Sacramento Discovery Park to old Folsom, both are Pony Express stops. It's 35 miles of ''green traveling'' along a well maintained asphalt pathway following the American and Sacramento rivers. Some spots are even being fenced off and replanted. . Drinking water and portable outhouses are provided, no worries for tired riders or bike tires. Very scenic, lots of trees, plants, bushes, Grey  or Ground Squirrels, the occasional pet, and of course, bicycle riders. There are many access roads from Folsom, Sacramento and places in between. Many will drive from Folsom, park the car, ride or raft to Sacramento, driving or bicycling back home. I rode one way in 3 hours, very scenic. You could be careful by having an extra tire, but that's just in case. . From the trees and such, it's a quiet ride mostly, but the trail crosses under several more than 2 lane roads, it's ''God's bicycle country''. In any case, you will see only bicyclists or joggers of both sexes only. Many days will see empty trails; however, it's a good sign in seeing others, knowing your bicycling efforts are not alone. . There is at least one sign, thank you Department of Public Works and County Parks, with 100's of Golden Poppies, California's State Flower, this 2014 Spring. . So we gravel roads run parallel for maintenance trucks that travel the route and keep all up to shape. It's well travelled, but well maintained. A riding rules and large map are available from county parks.

Ocean’s Source

Ocean’s Source

    Where does Earth’s oceans come from? It is said that comets brought water tot the earth, but look at comets. The comet that was landed on recently is veritably dry. Meteorites hold 22% of water in their rocks. If you seen the video where part of a meteorite is crushed and heated, water vapor forms. Meteorites that formed the Earth brought water in their rocks. You may say comets did the same, but have you thought of the amounts needed? Whatever rocks with that much water did it.
