  1. totemic loss leader for hallow marketing? Same reason The North Face bought A5......
  2. Ever checked out the going rate farmers pay for water in California? There are a number of them for whom farming is now a side business. Their main source of income is reselling the subsidized water they get from the Feds to LA and the growing suburbs. Buy at $10 acre/ft sell for $500
  3. The small problem for that is climate.... Farmers already have moved abroad in order to supply fresh fruits and vegetables when those would normally be out of season. Their are strawberry fields in the middle of Baja that are being picked in January. The pickers and the season move north as the year progresses. One need only look where a majority of the subsidies end up - in the pockets of large corporate farmers - to see that subsidies should end and end soon.

  10. Except for retreogrouchs I don't know any "core" users who want bibs anymore. Why do you need 2 layers of goretex for your chest?

  14. I'm curious about that. For crops grown in the Salinas valley they are done side by side, with the same labor pool for each, and the same overhead costs. Perhaps their is some price premium attached to organic? As an aside it's comical to label an piece of produce from the Central or Salinas valley of California as organic given the completely manufactured and massively destructive water projects required to grow anything there.
  15. Anyone interested in doing the Haute Route, Tour de Soleil or one of the other big multi-day euro tours this April or May? It's an early easter

  21. Not bent out of shape, I just think it silly given the rudimentary tools the individual has to measure their total impact to parade private perhaps virtue in public. Their is such wide variety in impact between various modes and methods and so little information judging the impact that it's all rather farcical.
  22. I didn't say he looked like this guy: Such innocence belies the criminal nature of the doughboy. He was a deep plant member of the Communist Party.
  23. I like that after being confronted with the officers ID he flashed his business card and said "What do you think about that?"
