So we should admit and accept, up front, that the Colorado never was and never will be a mighty river system, and that it is climate-challenged and prone to drought. We never should have asked it for so much. We invaded it like cancer, turning water into property. I wish it wasn’t so. (From 2023)
Why is the Colorado River running dry?
It's not just drought. It's putting sacred cows above farmers, cities, and a secure future.

![Radio Corporation of America advertisement originally published in Life (Sep. 25, 1939). [Full text of the main body of the advertisement follows]
Paul Revere could have stayed in bed
Radio could have reached "every Middlesex village and farm" before the famous silversmith got started
Had RADIO broadcasting been available in 1775, Paul Revere could have spread the alarm in a split second and been spared his all-night ride. As we look back, it is difficult to realize how the patriots of the Revolution were able to carry their task to successful completion in the face of the time required to exchange communications among the thirteen colonies. What an amazing difference radio makes in your life today!
Today, matters of importance, whether to nations or to individuals, are flashed around the world instantly. R.C.A. Communications provides communication to and from 43 countries and among leading cities of the United States.
RCA services and RCA equipment put radio at your service in many other ways. Broadcast programs provide an unceasing flow of entertainment, offer information, news and enlightenment to millions. Airplanes fly more safely, are guided more surely to their destinations by radio. Radio plays a vital role in the plans of the Army and Navy for national defense.
RCA activities are portrayed in RCA exhibits at the New York World's Fair and the San Francisco Exposition. You are cordially invited to visit these exhibits.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gctqfxnif4zrn7rw76gnzzcu/bafkreiaby3krrxakf2t6kb2ub5bflufhbcdyriwguxoi4ypi3bap5iewiu@jpeg)
