Aw, man, you got ginkgo biloba'ed?
don bauder, We joined the Price Club not too long after it opened. As I recall. and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, originally you had to be a business owner to to. She wasn't a business owner, at least that I remember, but my wife's aunt had a membership. We went there with here one day and made some kind of comment about wishing we could join and not all that long later, we had our own cards. When Costco bought Price Club in 1993, we became members. So in essence, I have been a member for 38 yrs come this fall. In that time, I have easily spent over 100K at Costco and probably probably closer to 200K. Obviously, I like shopping there.— April 8, 2015 7:59 a.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
don bauder I do look at the big picture. In the case of water, all of my properties, whether they are the ones I use or the ones that are income properties make use of all of the water conservation techniques available and practical, whether it be plumbing, fixtures, appliances, graywater, rain water or landscaping. Whether or not SDCWA gets a bundle of money back is of no concern to me. Previous experience has taught that San Diego utilities will spend it on themselves rather than pass the savings along to their rate payers.— April 5, 2015 8:52 p.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
don bauder Au contraire what. Buffett has increased his net worth by some 36 percent during this recessive economy. He is one of the people he is talking about regardless of his tax rate. He is one of the people he wonders why others are not enraged at.— April 5, 2015 8:38 p.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
don bauder Please stay on topic. Buffett's "wisdom on our bad taxing policies" has exactly nothing to do with shirleyberan's comment which was about Buffett commenting on how "how well the super-rich did in this recessive economy" and wondering why there aren't more outraged at the inequality of wages. I was pointing out that it is easy for Buffett to talk, considering his own personal wealth has increased by about 36 percent during that time. How many of the 99% have had the same. Kinda of like railing against large companies who put their stockholders first, and then buying their stocks because they pay high dividends.— April 5, 2015 2:37 p.m.

All of this said knowing he increased his own net worth by $18 billion since 2007 and nearly $5 billion in the last year alone.— April 5, 2015 10:32 a.m.
Aw, man, you got ginkgo biloba'ed?
Sometimes i feel OK, but when I talk I stutter I can't remember back a few minutes ago The doctors all come up with the same answers Boy if I'm that far gone there's nowhere left to go— April 5, 2015 9:56 a.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
don bauder Don't know and don't care other than to say the less the better. I have rental properties that are serviced by MWD member agencies.— April 5, 2015 9:54 a.m.

Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
All fair points. To frame it in more common terms, in 2013, farms and ranches received $46.4 billion for their output. Only 2 % of California's GSP, but still a lot of money. And let me add that if it isn't bad enough for the remaining family farms with the water issues, some of them are now under assault be Jerry's fast train to no where.— April 4, 2015 6:07 p.m.
Reduce water…and continue building? Huh?
don bauder Yes as I have said and also as I said, MWD supplies water to San Diego, not DWP.— April 4, 2015 6:02 p.m.
