AMERICA'S NUTTIEST POWER COUPLE

摘要

For over four years a record-breaking drought has scorched central California with Old Testament cruelty. Drive west of Ba-kersfield into the heart of the San Joaquin Valley and soon you will be engulfed by sloping brown hills broken up by dusty, slate-colored fields. Desolate little towns off the highway dot the parched landscape. Lost Hills (pop. 2,412) consists largely of a tamale shack, a mostly empty James Dean-themed shop, a dilapidated tire store and a rundown pool hall.
