And the rains came

regarding water wells and water hauling that include a general framework of proposed rules and procedures. More work needs to be done but we’ve made a start at attempting to exercise more monitoring and control over some tough problems that are major concerns of many county residents.

For example, develop standard conditions and guidelines for drilling commercial water wells. Private sector owner/ operators of commercial wells should be required to obtain a use permit, business license, perform a hydrologic­al study, maintain records of metering, water sold, who it’s sold to, etc.

Commercial water haulers should be required to obtain business licenses and tracking logs detailing gallons of water hauled and location of water deliveries, and would be prohibited from after-dark hauling. Also water deliveries to illegal pot grows would be banned, but water deliveries for non-cultivatio­n uses would be allowed.

Develop substantia­l penalties to deter unregulate­d use, hauling or extraction of ground water, such as $1,000 (first violation), $2,000 (second), $3,000 (third), and $5,000 (subsequent violations). arts bad-ass.

So while Putin is more famous for throwing down than Elon — I’ve seen clips of Vladdy pounding the crap out of opponents all dressed out in judo gear, strutting around with clinched fists in the air and acting like a jackass. But he does have an honorary black belt (which the Internatio­nal Judo Associatio­n stripped him of when Pooty-Poot invaded Ukraine).

Musk must think he’s a bad dude himself because he once told blowhard Joe Rogan that he trained in karate as a kid. On top of that, he said he’s also dabbled in taekwondo, judo and a little jiu-jitsu.

If the two maniacs were to square off in pay-for-view cage fight, it would definitely set an all-time record for viewers and moo-la.
