When it rains in SoCal, I see all the dry river beds, Santa Ana River etc. flowing and think we should be pumping that into holding areas etc. Is there any chance of that happening instead of letting it flow out to sea?

Which celebrities do you secretly wish you were Eskimo Brothers with?

I routinely purchased a $159 big box store Eureka or Dirt Devil or whatever about every 2-3 years it seemed. Based on your AMA a while back, I dropped $600 on a Riccar commercial floor model at my local Sew and Vac. I have never been more pleased! This Riccar SUCKS! Better than any other vacuum I've ever owned and the build quality is supreme. I don't think I'll be buying another vacuum for at least 20 years. Thank You!

Question: The Miele seemed a little plastic-y, cheaper built, but you highly recommend those as well. How do the two compare for longevity?
