I've seen there's some outrage about Georgia "mansions" using what
some consider exorbitant amounts of water.
I'm interested in knowing from the Georgia guys their thoughts on
that, and what the "buzz" is down there.
The same type of social forces applied to water conservation might in
the future apply to oil conservation when things get real tight.
Goes without saying this could affect power boating, as fuel costs
already have.


Don't get your shorts in a bunch.

It will eventually rain.

Oil will be replaced by something.

Life will go on.


Thanks, Tom. Guess I'll get some breakfast then.

It rained last night, in fact, it was a downpour. My dogs were freaked
out, they didn't know what it was. I called my daughter outside, so she
could see what rain was. My wife cried.

Reggie, I heard it was .14 inch. You may be over reacting.

Who says the governor doesn't know how to pray.


I wasn't at the vigil, but I did guarantee rain right here on this NG.
"Gimme my fifty bucks!"

I just want to know what we did to **** God off in the first place that
he made it stop raining. Whatever it was, I want to make sure we didn't
do it again.

Maybe he thought there was too much boating.
Be careful what you wish for.
