It can't be. Dead wrong Dale said we were in for a drought buster over the next few days. Check your water hose. Maybe you left it running overnight. _________________

I have a well as well err hum anyway, it needs to be serviced. Only produces water for a couple of seconds before drying up. Do you know anyone who is reasonable? _________________

For anyone looking for innovative ways to utilize more rainfall, the below muffin tin demonstration by Brad Lancaster, from Tucson, Arizona, is pretty simple and humorous. Brad has another three part series of YouTube videos that the resourceful can easily find online. This is a method of using the rain that is as old as mankind. Somewhere between the beginning of mankind and now, things got a little out of hand. We started treating our rainwater like a waste product instead of like one of our most valuable coommodities. And sooner or later your well runs dry because the aquifer is depleted. Gotta put it back into the earth, instead of rocket-launching it into storm sewers. Plant the rain.
There, now I fell better and can step down from the box.
