Collect it, bottle it and export it. Lots of places in the world could use some good clean rain water.

Being a native of San Francisco I can truthfully say that the bridge is NOT a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge!!! Oh, and, don’t EVER call it Frisco!!!!! That town is in another state!!!!!

The the place in India is wetter than the Pacific Ocean? It may get more rain, but I doubt it is wetter.

davidf42 To quote Gertrude Stein, “A shmuck is a shmuck is a shmuck is a shmuck.” Like he NEEDED a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge on his farm! Now he’s got one. And that’s that.

40 feet a year works out to over 1 and a quarter inches a day.
