And those lawns, uuuuhhhh, I shouldn't get started on that.

Most of us are so used to turning on a faucet and having the water come out that we give very little thought of what an amazing achievement of technology it is, or what a rare resource.<BR/><BR/>I find it more and more difficult to garden with a easy conscience, to grow plants that so obviously should not be grown here...including suburban lawns.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915750954797799322.post-48737549359658548332008-08-08T09:00:00.000-05:002008-08-08T09:00:00.000-05:00"stock tanks"...that's a blast from the past...not..."stock tanks"...that's a blast from the past...not something I hear in suburbia, but did a lot growing up and visiting my grandparents' ranch.<BR/><BR/>In NE Texas, they call 'em "pools," too.

I live NW of Dripping Springs, and there is no rationing here either. I cannot understand why folks aren't more self-policing when it comes to shared natural resources. I think people are going to have to reconsider their cavalier attitude toward water usage sooner rather than later in the Hill Country or we are all going to suffer in the near future.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915750954797799322.post-64550121219178652052008-08-05T08:43:00.000-05:002008-08-05T08:43:00.000-05:00Bob, I'm glad you got the problem solved.
