What others are saying...
- One of the most interesting, opinionated and committed bloggers around, David Zetland, pours forth in this blog about water, market-based solutions and a whole lot more. A high-intensity read.
- doesn't look like you have a ton of pageviews, and your blog has been around awhile. How did you get a book offer, and it looks like Forbes columns, out of a small blog like that?
- Learn about the way water works from an economic perspective. The posts are concise and to-the-point, making it a great read for newcomers to the topic.
- I love when David Zetland makes my job easier.
- My only complaint is the challenge of keeping up with David’s content. If you’ve ever met David this wouldn’t come as a surprise. Great stuff, but man does it come fast. David will post 4 – info filled – posts in a day; I’m lucky to post 4 in a month and one of them will be about drinking beer, eating pizza, and reading blogs.
- David Zetland (at aguanomics) who, besides asking questions with obvious answers, thinks posts about cow farts cheapen his blog.
- David Zetland's aguanomics blog is excellent. This morning he changed his mind on the peripheral canal.
- Yesterday I linked to David Zetland's piece in Forbes arguing that residential water ought to be priced to better reflect genuine supply and demand. Sure, I replied, but how about agricultural water too?
Paying the bills...

Actually, there has been some research on this that shows that traffic moves faster if everybody waits until the turn. I don't understand it, either, but I think it's related to hydrodynamics.
It never fails. There's always the Budinski who thinks he can cut the line...and usually does because some lame dork lets him in. Everyone has to slam on the brakes and the whole line slows down. Hydrodynamics, Assholedynamics--same difference.
Four Mound Farm, you are right, I have seen the error of my ways! We all need to follow social norms, emissions be damned! Who cares about the planet!?? We need to do what others are doing!
