Weekend Update

Not much going on right now, folks. I was out on a business trip all last week and I'm just catching up on my regular blogs.

Today we spent all day watering plants, mulching and planting pansies. Our plants are desperate. The state of Georgia is going through a horrible drought right now, and you're not supposed to do ANY outdoor watering in our county. However, it turns out that the empty house next door has a flooded basement, so we've been scooping out their dirty but not-too-smelly water and using it to water our plants. The owner has got to fix the basement before the house can be rented, obviously, but he's being a cheap slumlord and not doing much of anything.

If the weather pattern keeps up, in about three months the city of Atlanta will be bone dry. We just won't have any water at all. This is the result of "stupid growth". I hope state politicians will finally feel a little motivation to address the issue once their toilets stop flushing.
