Two things ran through my fertile mind today. Hence the title. I will attempt to explain.
Our recent visit to SW Germany and the town of Baden Baden in the Black Forest area. This town's claim to fame (or such) is that it offers a unique mélange of tranquility and warm water baths (hence the name) that operate on the principle that the minerals and Salts therein are beneficial for human well being. None of us in the family are particularly bathing people so we stayed away and took wonderful showers in the hotel bathrooms but that is beside the pool (I mean point).
So they cranked out a whole new industry that goes back centuries, had a few royals visit and dip and voila. It makes money for the Wuttermbergians (state in which this town is located). Good sca(u)m for such a Bad sounding name.
Drought in Northern California is the other thought or theme I was mulling over. We seem to not figure out where we would get our next 100 gallons to keep our grass looking green and continue those long showers for someone that does not like lying in their own tepid filth.
So how about we desalinate our ocean (we got one right here - I mean to the left of us). Pump ocean water to any person willing to drain their swimming pool and fill it. Then let it simmer in the summer heat and you have a high salinity pool complex. Call it 'Worsen Worsen' and invite people from all over the world to try the healing properties of a California spa - replete with sea kelp if your mood desires. You can even chew on them as a side.
Tag lines invited - some I can think of -

- From Bad To Worse, it doesn't get better - and you don't have to leave town (this for the local yokels dreaming of a Europe trip to soak in some bath)
- You can somersault in our sea salt - for the athletic bent
- Cured Meat - yah we got that - feel rejuvenated right here in CA
you've got the complete thing figured out. Just buy a desalination plant, and you are on.
ReplyDeletehmm.. plant(s) need water - this might just work
