Marc in Calif

Nah, the first vowel in Xico isn't pronounced like the "y" in Psycho. I can assure you that he's not Norman Bates. 😊

Of course that's the (simplistic) definition. Hence the D0 level that I cited: "abnormally dry." So your Wikipedia definition would clearly describe D0 ("abnormally dry") conditions in California as evidence of drought. Yet that definition doesn't even mention one additional significant factor: time. Here's a much more complete and complicated definition: Drought is generally defined as “a deficiency of precipitation over an extended period of time (usually a season or more), resulting in a water shortage.” (drought.gov) And the U.S. Weather Service definition hits all the relevant terms: A drought is defined as "a period of abnormally dry weather sufficiently prolonged for the lack of water to cause serious hydrologic imbalance in the affected area."

Can you provide verified evidence to disprove these quotes from the sources that I cited? Abnormal dryness and moderate to severe drought were contracted across much of California. The most recent drought episode has lasted [i.e., and still exists] up to 3 years. After three years of historic drought, however, it’s still too early to describe the entire state as “out of drought,” particularly as conditions vary across regions. ___________________ And... Groundwater is an important factor, or indicator, for drought. (Who said that groundwater levels were part of the "definition of drought"? Nobody whom I cited.)

Like most things in nature, drought is not black and white. There's exceptional drought, extreme drought, severe drought, moderate drought, and extremely dry (the lowest level of drought). As a result, there's a very clear difference between a "contracted" drought and NO drought at all. Looking at the current snowpack and current reservoir levels tells only part of the story, as described here: The rain has improved California soil moisture and streamflow levels, while the snow has increased mountain snowpack to much above-normal levels. Most California reservoirs have refilled with water levels near or above average, but groundwater levels remain low and may take months to recover. Abnormal dryness and moderate to severe drought were contracted across much of California to reflect the above-normal precipitation of recent months, above-normal snowpack, and improved reservoir levels. https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/CurrentMap.aspx What agencies or organizations are responsible for the USDM? The Drought Monitor has been a team effort since its inception in 1999, produced jointly by the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The NDMC hosts the web site of the drought monitor and the associated data, and provides the map and data to NOAA, USDA and other agencies. It is freely available at droughtmonitor.unl.edu. And Even More https://drought.ca.gov/ The March 3 snow survey showed California’s snowpack is at 190% of average for that date, with more snow likely on the way. After three years of historic drought, however, it’s still too early to describe the entire state as “out of drought,” particularly as conditions vary across regions.... While winter storms have helped the snowpack and reservoirs, groundwater basins are much slower to recover. Many rural areas are still experiencing water supply challenges, especially communities that rely on groundwater supplies which have been depleted due to prolonged drought. It will take more than a single wet year for groundwater levels to substantially improve at a statewide scale. Drought impacts also vary by location and drought recovery will need to be evaluated on a regional scale and will depend on local water supply conditions....

In his photos, he's wearing a t-shirt that says: Boston City New England That's clearly a weird foreign knockoff. Nobody ever says "Boston City."

Do you like Lifetime movies?

Something much better: A younger Jewish comedy writer takes celebrities to various foodie places around Los Angeles and the rest of the world in https://www.pbs.org/show/ill-have-what-phil-having/ . Rating: A+ (an episode with Martin Short and Allison Janney is my favorite) Currently reborn as Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/80146601

Are you prepared for boring, incompetent, or frustrating -- instead of your expected exciting?

The Castro has never really been much of a gourmet "fine-dining" destination. Occasionally there's a really good place that opens and then closes after a year or several years. But you'll easily find some good casual places that have been popular for many years and even decades. However, Frances has been a recognized Michelin-star gem of a restaurant since 2009. The owner/chef, Melissa Perello, has an impeccable pedigree. She opened another Michelin-award place (not in the Castro) in 2015. L'Ardoise is more of a French bistro, with prices to match, but it can be excellent.

He should change his name to NonRatedMassuer (preserving the spelling error!).

He fills that egg carton very nicely!

So why don't you want to change your profile to make it crystal clear that you don't want to top other men?

Your familiarity with the term syndicate is severely limited. Or you have a very specific axe to grind on this particular topic. My partner is Asian. He too receives tons of IMs on Grindr from the syndicate -- and he thinks the term is quite appropriate.

Surely you know how to send a private message to the members who told us they've hired him.

Do you live in the Detroit metro area? Did you have to drive to his neighborhood to know what type of area it was? I guess I'm wondering why you didn't already know about the Schoolcraft area and its suitability for an appointment, especially with someone you hadn't met or even spoken by phone or webcam.

I couldn't care less. Or could I?

And the error in word usage is... ?

Is that Fry's Electronics? I thought they went out of business a couple of years ago. Maybe Arizona has a second type of Fry's.

And if the guys were French? Argentinian? Saying that they were in a French syndicate or Argentinian syndicate would be a correct as Chinese syndicate. Lemme change the name to Chinese scammers collective. Is that okay? I suppose that Nigerian Prince Scam is also offensive? Yes, I know they've branched out to Ghana and other places in West Africa. 😇 syndicate a group of individuals or organizations combined to promote some common interest: "large-scale buyouts involving a syndicate of financial institutions"

And if he is indeed "deep" (as he says), you can finally have that great philosophical discussion with him. 😃

I don't think you can link directly to your former Daddy's reviews, so that would be a question to ask the mods. The only way I can find your page is by going to the Daddy's review archive: https://archive.companyofmen.org/cruise On the map that's displayed, select USA. Select California and then Northern California. Click By Name and then enter Sherman in the Name field. Select All in the drop-down menu under Active. Click Find. Your name will be the only one that shows up in the search. Click your name to see your reviews page. Then ask the mods here if there's some way you can link to this specific page!

Do you mean a correlation with... maybe length? 😘
