It seems like it's been years since the pond inside the Ronald Reagan State Office Building, home of the 2d District Court of Appeal, has had water in it. The water was drained as part of the State's drought policies--the government wanted to set a good example by not having running water elements on State property. Or was it that the pond was leaking and so had to be kept dry. Or perhaps both? In any event, as of this week, H20 has returned to the pond. So the bear and saber-toothed tiger (i.e., the California Grizzly Bear,
Ursus Californicus, the official state animal [Gov. Code, 425] and a
Smilodon, the State Fossil of California [Gov. Code, 425.7, subd. (b)]) have their watering hole again! {Well, ok, maybe the cats are just pumas or cougars after all...}
