That's Life with California Water

Tue, 05/27/2025 - 12:00pm | Lois Richter

That's Life -- brought to you by California's Water and Soil!

Soils and water and other things are fodder for this episode.  Lois is talking to guest Don Shor (of Davis Garden Show fame!) -- about so many things that we won't try to list them all here.

Understanding our water -- where it comes from , where it goes, how it's used, and by whom -- is vital to knowing what to expect in the future.  Understanding how our soils were formed and how the various soil typesinteract with that water is the basis for many of our gardening and farming decisions. 

Why who got what soils.  Davis is in the Sacramento River watershed.  It was either marsh or grasslands before Europeans arrived.  Because we had annual flooding, our rivers and creeks developed natural levees which overtopped each year and deposited gravel, sand, silt, and clay on the surrounding land -- the lighter particles travelling further than the heavier material.  So your yard might be sandy-loam, silty-loam, or clay-loam -- depending on where in the county you live.

"That's Life" broadcasts every Tuesday at 12 noon and replays every Wednesday at 5:00 pm, PacificTime.

Davisville, May 26, 2025: Downtown businesses assess the impact of Trump’s tariffs

Mon, 05/26/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

The large tariffs on U.S. imports ordered by President Trump in April have created huge uncertainty and anxiety, amplified by Trump’s frequent course changes and by tariffs imposed on the U.S. in retaliation. Small businesses can’t wait for uncertainty to clear, however. They have to make frequent decisions in real time. Today on Davisville a few businesses downtown tell us what they think of the tariffs, how they’re coping, and how their customers are responding.

The results are not conclusive -- only five businesses responded to a set of questions I sent to DDBA members prior to this program -- but  they are interesting. One respondent cheers the tariffs. The other four rate the impact to be severe and negative. Even so, you’ll also hear nuance.

Today's guests are Brett Lee, executive director of the Davis Downtown Business Association, and Kevin Wan, president of the association this year and co-owner of Sophia’s Thai Kitchen. They comment on the responses and add insights of their own.
