Way back in 1992 I watered my lawn for one quarter, water billing
period. When I got the bill I was shocked at the cost and decided that I
would not water my lawn ever again. In the winter the grass turns brown,
in the spring it tuns green, in the summer it turns brown and in the
fall it tuns green again.

Water is not that bad priced. Where we live we get water and sewage charge
on the bill. About $60 I think. Former abode, we got the sewage charge as
an annual charge on our tax bill. Let us deduct it from taxes.

That may be part of the problem out there. Water is pretty expensive
here and they don't even have that much of a shortage. I think it is
something like $13 a 1000 gallons with the sewer (the sewer is as much
as the water and based on water use)



We still have a well, but they made us all put in sewer a while back,
Since we have a well, we pay about 350 /year in sewage tax.

I am still on well and septic but I am sure they will make us hook up
some day. The city system is at the end of the street. I wouldn't mind
the sewer but I am not thrilled with the city water. It is expensive
and basically the same water I am getting now. The wells they use are
in the same aquifer about a mile and a half away.
I think they will let me keep an "irrigation" well and I might do it
even though I do not really irrigate much.
I do have the plumbing separated anyway. It would be an easy hookup
for them..

When we lived in Tampa, there were lots of folks with 'irrigation'
wells and city water. That St Augustine grass did well on ground
water.

I have been saying for a long time that we will run out of water long
before we run out of oil.
California is one of the best examples. They have taken a some of the
biggest rivers in the US and turned them into mud holes.
It is not the only one tho, What they are doing to Ogalalla aquifer
might actually be harder to fix. That is not simply overusing snow
melt, they are pumping down fossil water that will take thousands of
years to replace.

And that water has been used mostly to water cows.

Sad.

Cows were herded by cowboys. Cowboys fended off rustlers,
rattlesnakes, and indians with guns. Ergo, cowboys were bad - and that
makes cows bad.

Some news readers do not open it automatically.

Agent gives me a popup, but it also gives me the option of not seeing
the popup again.

Mine just shows an icon and gives me the option to save and open it or
not.
It is probably because I have my security settings as tight as I can
get them and I don't let my machine open much of anything (executable)
without me knowing it.

You can cause a lot of mischief in an HTML package, not that any of
the folks here are likely to do it.



Gosh, I have even better security. I simply don't open/read posts from
Roger-Dodger.
