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.

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.

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

Just one, the guy claimed that his on-going gardening was to blame,
seems that there once was an exemption for newly landscaped areas, and
the gardener just kept doing it.

Like I say, the guy is in compliance, and has issued a statement
saying that it is *all* of our problems.

Let's hope so.

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

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

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

do it again.

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

Lordy. Got the impression from a CNN piece it was a big deal.

Anybody need rain? We're getting more than our fair share now. Where can
we send it to?

Yeah, I know, I've seen it on all of the world news shows for days,
local news, CNN, Fox, etc. and it's always the same house they show!
Now, the guy did go to extremes, using enough water to supply a large
subdivision! The guy seems truly remorseful for the deal, but who
knows, it may just be lip service!

Do they not charge for water in ever increasing amounts per gallon as the
total number increases? As in, use a reasonable amount of water and pay X
per gallon. Use an excessive and start paying a higher per-gallon rate, at
an increasing percentage.
