Drought/Flood Conundrum

David, thinking outside the box, tried to figure out how to ship Texas’ excess flood water to California.  Gov. Brown was receptive, but his constituency wanted to know if it was vegan; had it crossed borders legally; would it need Government help once it arrived, and did it qualify for ObamaCare?  The nuts & bolts part–how to physically get it there–seemed to be lost somehow.  The Libs worried a water pipeline might be used to move Texas oil to California.  And who would they name it after–George Clooney, Tom Cruise, Cher, Lady Gaga? Gov. Brown was open, but the Californians were firm–NO BUSH . . .!

Bee Years

Tina heard that most people knew about “dog years”–7 dog years were equal to one human year.  Bees, however, only lived about two months when active and as much as four months during the winter.  This means each bee year was equal to about 1 1/2 human days. Tina had already been around for several months of cold weather, but now it was warming up, she hoped her Obama care policy would keep her going in her “golden years/days” . . .

Obamacare Approved

Surprisingly, when Jim, a Montana farmer, checked the fine print in the new Affordable Health Care Law, he found that architectural orthopedic care was available for historical barns like his (Page 2309, paragraph 3, subsection 21-b), but there was a waiting list. Once the architectural orthopedics facility being built in Hanover, New Hampshire was completed–which was expected to be not later than July 2037–Jim could bring his barn, but, of course, all transport costs were to be borne by the historical artifact (barn) owner.  There was also a panel that would decide which historical artifacts (barns) would be accepted and which would be simply torched, even though torching may contribute to global warming. The Government insisted this was not an architectural “death panel”  . . .

Tight Knit Family

Even though they had lost their home in the economic crash, their jobs, their health insurance, and their doctor, they still had each other, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest.  They could be electronically miserable along with thousands of others all over the world in real time . . .

Sticker Shock

Randy was a little taken aback; The first surprise was that he actually got on the new healthcare website, and then the second was when he got the price and experienced a bad case of “sticker shock . . . “

No Stone Unturned

Trying to fix the problems caused by the disastrous rollout of the new healthcare website, the contractors–under the gun–left no stone unturned, and any and all help was appreciated, though they were expecting a little flack from PETA  . . . . David, Sf.G.
