Too much water in Florida; not enough in Calif.

Thought for the day

Back in 2015, I began writing about a polar pipeline.  My goal:  To build a unique system that could transport excessive rainwater and snow from the east to drought-stricken California in the west.  While the polar pipeline never happened, the need to provide The Golden State with water still exists.  With this last thought in mind, here's my latest idea.  I'll be anxious to hear yours.

It's no secret Florida's Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and his California counterpart, Democrat Gavin Newsom, have presidential ambitions. About the only question yet to be answered is this:  Will they run in 2024 or four years later?  

Ironically, the two governors also share common ground when it comes to one of the most pressing issues of the day.  Spoiler alert:  It's water, not immigration.

As a result of Hurricane Ian, The Sunshine State has experienced historic amounts of rain and catastrophic flooding.  Closer to home, The Golden State is experiencing another year of record-breaking drought.  I know it's a pipe dream now, but someday I expect excessive rainwater in Florida to be transported to California.  Talk about a win-win for both states.

When natural disasters like earthquakes or forest fires strike, nearby governors often send national guard troops across state borders to help conduct search and rescue operations.

Why couldn't that be the case when it comes to Florida's floodwaters and California's parched landscape?  If you ask me, it's something presidential hopefuls DeSantis and Newsom should be thinking about now.
