My mistake. <br />Agreed with your comments about the pouring of water onto gardens.

While the domestic water restrictions only apply to 4% irrigators also have restrictions who use 75% of the states water. Try running a business using only 34% of a resource you used to have and then imagine the knock on effects in the community. You've got whole towns dying out there due to the lack of water.Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06857395475140659512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-73498887792454617012009-11-12T18:29:42.443-08:002009-11-12T18:29:42.443-08:00DK - We're all so happy for you.

That's the hot..."scorching heat wave"<br />That's the hot air that rises up to meet you as you walk along that little stretch of Magill road, wait at the lights, then continue along Portrush road, with the sun beating down (no shade) and the heat rising up off the concrete and bitumen, add the heat coming from the exhaust and slipstream of the big trucks passing. Thank goodness it's only about 5 minutes of my day. I hate that hot "cold" shower business too, especially now with the water restrictions I can't even stay under the spray long enough for the cooler water to start flowing.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-75351520612538894072009-11-11T21:09:19.959-08:002009-11-11T21:09:19.959-08:00Ah, good thing I've just spent the last three ...Ah, good thing I've just spent the last three days at a conference at a resort in batemans bay, my cabin a stone's throw from the beach.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-33391525395721677292009-11-11T20:30:06.540-08:002009-11-11T20:30:06.540-08:00Third Cat - Waves crash and end ... whereas the de...Third Cat - Waves crash and end ... whereas the desert <i>*insert mystical sitar music*</i> NEVER ENDS ....franzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400212989359954521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-90230025349719869882009-11-11T20:28:41.117-08:002009-11-11T20:28:41.117-08:00Shippy - ... in your air-conditioned office.
