A kitchen sponge on a Phoenix counter went stiff on Tuesday. That is the finding that ends the old world.
We tested the new federal plan for the Colorado River. Some states must now use less water for two years. We ran nine sinks. The sinks that obeyed the plan made a dry click and stopped.
We left one sink alone. That sink still dripped. That was our comparison group.
The chance this happened by luck is very small. We cannot say the desert noticed. We can say the ice tray filed a request.
