Illinois does not send water from the Colorado into California.  That,
after all, is what you have quoted your friend to have said.  Having
in California, I can tell you your friend's jealousy is coming through
loud and clear.  I'll take sunshine over snappy lies any time.

Note:  "the" water from the Colorado does not go into California, SOME of
       it does, and soon, none of it will.  But somehow, I think the sun
       will still shine in California, and your friend will still be
       white as a ghost.
