I don't think they are open and honest completely either.  They just have that legalism in them.

The whole intent of any commercial is to deceive. 


My wife worked for a pharma company for 38 years.

She was in communications. She would have stuff go through internal review, and then submit to the FDA, who would come back with "you can't say this, or you need to say this", etc. It took a long time - sometimes up to a year - to get an ad or brochure approved.

LIBERAL, Kan. (KSNW) – The Ogallala Aquifer Summit is set for March 18-19 in Liberal at the Seward County Fairgrounds. It will be the third time it has been held since 2018.

The Ogallala is a vast underground reservoir that covers 174,000 square miles and touches parts of South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas. Some estimates indicate the aquifer is rapidly depleting, and in 50 years, 70% of it will be diminished.

In Kansas, the Ogallala covers most of the western one-third of the state. It is estimated that 95% of groundwater pumped from the aquifer each year is for irrigated agriculture, though it also supports livestock and municipal needs. The aquifer supports approximately $35 billion in crop production. If water depletion in the aquifer continues, Kansas land values may drop by millions.

Ogallala Aquifer on track to 70% depletion in 40-45 years
“One of the key values that I see to the Ogallala Aquifer Summit is the opportunity to hear from other states on the condition of the aquifer in their region, discuss shared challenges and learn ideas that may be adapted to Kansas in order to improve our water management,” said Susan Metzger, director of the Kansas Water Institute at Kansas State University.

Metzger added researchers and water specialists from each state in the Ogallala Aquifer region have prepared updates on their water management progress for the summit.

Topics include the following:


New opportunities with conservation-related legislation.
Understanding water risk as part of climate risk and economic risk.
Advances in science and data application.
The power of peer networks.
Workforce and leadership development

The summit is open to all interested. General registration is $150, and students are $75.

89 is fine.  It's not "too hot" for anything really, until it breaks about 102.

The trees here are just starting to bud, and a few are blooming.  I remember in Cincy thinking early March was spring, but it wasn't.  Usually.

It's 66°F here and cloudy, and the leaves are budding on trees, not yet green, some trees are blooming.  We can still have a freeze which of course hits the fruit trees hardest.

Low tomorrow night predicted at 33°F, then nothing below 42°F in the ten day.

Looking at Tokyo ...  50s during the day, fair bit of rain.  We leave March 7 and arrive March 9.  I'm hoping the hotel maybe lets us into a room quite early, flight arrives at 5:05 AM.

We're likely done with any freezes, specifically a hard freeze.  We rarely get one after February.  We'll have some cool, gloomy days in the 40s and 50s through the first half of March, but we won't see another hard freeze until probably next January.
