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.

not much i hear about the People's Republik of Kalifornia surprises me any more; this doesn't ...

not to worry - next year, it will be illegal to drive your car, and the year after that, to own one. (might be used as a weapon, ya know. do it for the kids.)

Why not take it to an actual car wash or one of those places where you can wash it yourself?

You have the right to be annoyed, but I think it's a good law.

Anecdotal evidence got you thinking again... someone without a job thought up a new statistic.

Global warming is cause by cigarettes, the flame of the lighters, and the smoke obscures the sun.

I hope that last statement was a joke. It sounds like you haven't the slightest how grave a problem it is.

I guess it doesn't matter for you, you'll be dead before the real bad stuff happens. But your kids, and grandkids, and their kids won't.

I wouldn't have kids in this world, if the government paid me with money ripped from the hands of people with measley jobs..... wait.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I was joking, I also left out the part about second-hand smoke affecting non-smokers more than smokers, I guess much in the same way that people witnessing a tragic death, are affected by it, more than the person who was killed..

He's dead, Jim.

I refuse to be indoctrinated.

As of Jan. 1 it is illegal to wash your car in your driveway in Las Vegas. You can still go to a commercial car wash. This law has also created a new booming business. There are guys with the proper permits that have spray tanks on trailers that will come to your house and wash it for you.

Now if I want to build a swimming pool, that is OK. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

OK, I don't get it. Don't they have water treatment plants in CA? I live in NorthWest Indiana by Lake Michigan, we have 5 major steel mills and get this....
Water treatment plants (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

Doesn't the sewer water get "treated / filtered"
before it heads out to the bay?? What about all
the oil and crap the is washed off the streets
after a rain does it just go straight to the Bay?

Did you see Palo Alto Sewer Ordinance 16.09.105?

It is illegal for it to rain 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.

The human body is one of the best filters EVER created!

It can take the piss out of Budweiser.

Anything up a hill, is going to go down the hill, whether it does it today, tomorrow, or 50 years from now. The oils, and heavy metals on that car came from down the hill, and back they'll go... whether you wash it off, or it falls off, and washes there itself.

People should not use detergents on car finishes... make that a law, make it a law that you can only use sea water... deep sea water... AT SEA! No smoking, don't eat a hamburger!~
