i just recieved a "warning" from the university (i live in uni-owned grad housing) because i was caught... get this.... WASHING MY CAR. well, SHIT....
Apparently, it is now ILLEGAL to wash your own car in Palo Alto, under the assumption that trace amounts of oil and heavy metals will be carried into drains and gutters, and on into the bay. Palo Alto Sewer Ordinance 16.09.106 i bet i'm the only stanford phd who came in a liberal, and will come out a conservative. |

You Cali guys laugh at our cold weather...WE laugh at your stooopid rules, high taxes, high housing costs, pea soup smog, lack of fresh water, crime, Michael Jackson, etc., etc., and so-on...
They don't bug us much out here in the country. BTW I have my own water treatment plant...it's called a septic system. I also have my own spring water source...a well. |
