Missing lake returns

El Rancho Cafe. Pretty solid.

I enjoy going to hit up the taco truck at Five Points when I'm there.

Authentic Mexican food in the back of the Riverdale Liquor store... hope you can at least understand a little Spanish!
The liquor store is pretty good too, the language barrier is the problem. I also like to hit up El Mercadito and wait for the guy on his horse to peek in the windows at lunch time.

There are wells that are thousands of feet deep in Iowa. Just depends where you are at in the state and what aquifer you are trying to tap into. The Jordan aquifer is one of the most heavily used in Iowa and central Iowa Jordan wells can get that deep.
My company has one that's 2,600 ft into the Jordan aquifer in Webster County. Actually had to add another 100 ft a few years back when it was running dry. The aquifer has a pretty unique basin in the area.

The Webster city/fort dodge area is not a great place to need a well. Rarely can you go less than 1200 feet to get any decent volume. Up on the MN border mine are around 200 feet for livestock. Some people just tap sand points maybe 50 foot down. They then complain about water in dry years.

So back to the lake. Has DraftKings put and over/under on how long before California pumps this dry again?

Well if the price of almonds wasn't in the tank I'd bet on it happening in days but they're still dealing with the after effects of Covid. The price is so bad right now they're tearing out a bunch of orchards and letting the ground fallow for a couple years.

Is there a direct correlation between COVID and almond prices or is that a sensitive product hit disproportionately by more broad economic trends?

Something like 80% of all the almonds grown in California go to Asia. When shipping went nuts the farmers were stuck sitting on all of the crop they couldn't get on a ship to China. They thought they could just work through it in 2021 and 2022 but they had bumper crops so the surplus cause the prices to drop from $4ish a pound to $1ish a pound. The price hasn't recovered from that yet.

Had no idea. Appreciate the insight.
