March 17, 2021 Dam Dismantling
Dam Dismantling
In 1921 the San Clemente Dam was built. 20 years later it was useless. 70 years later it was dangerous. Then it was dismantled.
We built a WHOLE NEW lifestyle this past year...but it's not gonna hold. Gotta start thinking about dismantling it.
CAAM Water video about the Dam Dismantling here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNANijh-7sU
The book I mentioned is "How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy" by Jenny Odell

It's The Grass's Fault!
You ever screw up while playing sports so bad you can't help but blame SOMETHING else? Maybe it's sweaty hands, or the sun in your eyes, or...the grass. Well, that excuse still works at the top level of the World's best soccer and it costs a big amount of money to address.

November 11, 2020 The Crash at Crush
The Crash at Crush was the dumbest publicity stunt that's ever happened in Texas, but I also wish I'd been there. In addition to being that it's also a reminder that we don't really understand the power of our technological advancements until something horrible happens.

October 29, 2020 Ted Nugent doesn't want Wolves in Colorado
Colorado Propostion 114 is the biggest reason why I want to live in Colorado. This episode is a bit of outside agitation in an election...but not anymore than Ted Nugent Did.
