Why do y’all live in the desert? Like, what do you do for a living in a fucking desert?

I guess California used to have snowmelt rivers, right? that’s why all the wineries and stuff. But Utah doesn’t have such snowy mountain ranges, right?

Oh wait apparently they do have mountains and rivers, nevermind.

The Rocky Mountains extend through Utah. The Wasatch and Uinta ranges are the most prominent, and lots of water comes from their snowmelt. Although that will likely change with climate change. :agony-consuming:

Los Angeles is built on what was literally a desert, check out the LA river

When it was originally settled by Spain it was a Mediterranean subtropic climate (although there are several microclimates in the area) and the LA river wasn’t concrete until the late 30s.

But go off.
