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.
