For those outside the Atlanta area, this probably doesn't mean much, but our multi-year drought has pushed our main water supply, Lake Lanier, way below optimal level. It's been slowly refilling and it looks like today will be the day it reaches full pool again, for the first time since fall of 2005! Come on rain, just another 0.02 feet to go!
Multi-year graph here.
Hearing all the talk of health-care "reform," I sort of glaze over. The one thing that particularly annoys me is that the legislation is so long, so wordy, so..well..just so much, that nobody really knows what it says. That's just crazy!
In my "simplify everything" dream, I'd wish that all legislation was required to start with a summary in plain language, and the summary couldn't be more than two or three sentences, and those sentences would have to be at a 6th grade reading level, or some such, as determine by an independent group NOT hired by the legislators. (OK, I know I'm already in trouble)
Then, every point in the bill would be required to fit that summary -- no extra stuff snuck in. Also, if a law supersedes an old law, then it would have to actually remove the old law, such that our volume of legislation would quit enlarging, and maybe...big wish...actually shrink a little. Finally, every bill would have an automatic expiration date, that would eliminate the law unless it were specifically re-presented and re-voted on.
OK...enough dreaming. Back to life.
