Except SoCal doesn't get droughts, NorCal does. Because SoCal steals all of our water.

It wasn't the aliens stealing our water in the original "V."

IT WAS THEM DANGED ANGELINOS!

Well then ... just wait 15 minutes more ;)

Actually, we hit the mid 70s today (low was in the 50s) ... a few days ago we were in the 50s (low was in the upper 20s). I completely expect we will see below freezing at least one or two more times before the weather finally decides to be spring ... and tries to get the flowering plants to kill me with all their rampant plant sex. <shakes fist at pollen>

They would probably be willing to give you Detroit as compensation.

I'm willing to challenge / dispute that Ohio indeed has more orange barrels than Michigan. Hell, we call our MLS soccer team in Columbus 'The Crew' for a reason. And their color pattern design take after the construction barrels. Our downtown is notorious for them, especially when "shovel ready" road construction jobs get delayed for ... 18 years.

Or we could surrender Toledo back to them.

But then it just changes again!

Down here in Aussie land we just finished a summer that never quite turned up. But luckily Autumn (fall) is putting on a few sunny days before winter takes its cold grey hold on our lives.

Ohio doesn't have "winter and construction". I've lived in Ohio, and frequently visit relatives there. What Ohio has is "winter and open air barrel storage season." Never seen one damn person working in those hundreds of miles of barrels.

Hell no! I've got Ohio pride, as preposterous as such an idea may be. I'm not getting handed over to Michigan.

I say we resolve this in a manner most fair to everyone... we simply wall off Detroit and Toledo, ala the Berlin Wall, except without any Checkpoint Bravo(s)/69th Street Bridge.


What we call this new area?

The Exchange

What we call it now.


Kurt Russell could use the money for a third movie in the "Escape From ..." genre to make it a trilogy.


Which means we need to come up with a better name than Detroit/Toledo. How about Detredo or Tolroit?
