The secret Peripheral Canal

[yzer]

A good article showed up today. No, it's not something out of a James Bond movie or a product of a conspiracy theorist's imagination: it's the secret canal!

Back in the'70s a nephew, a hydrological engimeer, who received a master's at UC Davis, told me he had worked on the engineering for a by-pass canal, and I was skeptical. I am a believer now. I temember when those borrow pits were dug, and their ultimate use was no secret then. Mike's column is a good wake up for the younger people who can't recall the excavating of those ditches. -- Warren

I'm over 40. I remember this situation very well. Digging the canal prior to the approval was one of the reason the proposition was so soundly defeated!

Don't get caught sleeping on this new attempt!

Flutter -- I'm over 80 so I should remember twice as well. Warren

It's quality, not quantity that counts.
