Nothing is 100%.
When you find a 100% spill proof method of transporting liquid, let me know.

Oh boy, now you sound like somebody else here. Obviously we are going to be using oil for awhile longer. My comment was symbolic...

One of my habits (in the winter at least) is to check the snow sensors in the Sierra, especially those located near Mammoth. Several automated sensors are connected online and allow any interested persons to see how things are going.

You can also call up plots of any of the measured quantities, selecting what to view and the period plotted, such as water content of the snow on the ground (actually, on an inflated rubber bag that weighs the snow by measuring the pressure in the bag) --

One oddity showed up this year - one of the instruments measures "snow depth" directly with an acoustic transducer placed about 190 inches above the snow. However, this year the snow got so deep that it overwhelmed the sensor, so for a long time there was no data available from it. The snow has now melted, sublimes, and settled enough so that sensor is reporting good data again.

Maybe you can help Izzy out. He doesn't know what that is.

That makes 3 of us.
I know what I mean by the phrase "shale gas". You can ask Izzy for a turn with his dunce cap.

I am glad you do.

I'm not sure Gay Joe ever knew the funny hat he had to wear was called a dunce cap...
