The guy who wrote the song was wrong. It does rain in California. Often. When it does, it often comes in torrents, leaving local leaders in a pickle. They’re not prepared for the disasters these storms leave behind in their wake and must turn to others for help. That was the situation in January of 2023, when the board members of the Santa Maria Water Conservation District noticed above-average, torrential rainfall was filling the usually dry Twitchell Reservoir to a point beyond its capacity.

Few of us own as many shares as Warren Buffett, who recently announced he would retire at year’s end. Nevertheless, America is still a nation of investors who own stocks and bonds, real estate, collectibles, and other assets that grow in value over time, adding to our wealth if we’re smart and lucky.

OPINION: Contrary to what people might think, it rains a lot in California, often to the point of flooding that causes tens of millions of dollars in damage and the loss of human lives. Such was the case in January 2023, when Santa Maria Valley Water Conservation District officials realized that an above-average rainfall had filled the usually empty Twitchell Reservoir and that the dam holding back approximately 6 billion gallons of stormwater and sediment was in danger of bursting.
