Interesting, thanks for posting. Most interesting was the pictures!
Cheek-by-jowl desert and neat, green suburbia. Staggeringly absurd.

Yes, that full-page-width format the NY Times is experimenting with
lends itself to some dramatic photos. In this case, it's a revealing
perspective for those of us who haven't seen it. I was last in
California last April, but I didn't get much sense of it, because I
was mostly in L.A. and Sandy Eggo -- artificial worlds.


25% water reduction, except ag, which is 80% of use. So 25% of 20%; 5%
of overall. 5%!! That's gonna help a lot.

Yeah, I didn't try to follow that part. g

BTW, the Times has been dabbling with new ideas for digitial
publishing, and they won a Pullitzer for one especially dramatic
example a couple of years ago -- "Snow Fall; The Avalanche at Tunnel
Creek."

The photos and animation are real eye-openers. This is where
"long-form" journalism may be headed.
