Eek! I know that feeling *sigh* we haven't had decent rain for months. And the drought has been going for years

We haven't even been able to put a garden in, its hard enough keeping our veggie patch watered.

Lovely photo, Fancy! We too are in a serious drought. There were talks on the local news channel the other night that we might have to use our desalination plant for our drinking water! Water usage has also been limited. However, these past few days have had a drop here and a drop there of rain.

We had some decent rain last month, but there will still be some water rationing here in California.

I was watching some national geographic's program about Cali's watering system. If I recall correctly, I thought their drain system was pretty cool. Isn't there something they do with rain water, too?

I don't think I want to know where our water may have to come from, eventually

Yeah, its called dams.

But they do send the water long distances via canals, the California Aqueduct being 715 miles, (1150 Km) long.

Best not find out what little critters live in our houses, even on our skin!

But whether the water is purified by Mother Earth or a water plant, all the nasties have been removed. Where I grew up I saw all the nasties both big and small, occasionally stepped in some, (bare feet

) and the idea doesn't bother me.

Ew!!! Too gross for me!! I'll start drinking bottled water if it comes to drinking reused water.

gucci_boi7782 · « **Reply #82 on:** April 03, 2009, 10:57:54 AM »

Haha, I don't remember exactly what I saw about Cali's watering system I but I remember thinking it was so cool! Yeah when it comes to us desalinizing the Gulf Of Mexico water, I'll probably switch to bottled spring water myself.

Where do you think the water from the bottle comes from. There have been bottlers who filled their fancy bottles with untreated tap water. And in some quarters it is thought that the plastic from the bottle is a greater concern than tap. Time to be a breatharian. (Remember to wear a mask to filter out what's in the air!

I would like to have stock in Brita. (water filter system).

gucci_boi7782 · « **Reply #85 on:** April 03, 2009, 11:29:27 AM »

That's true 49er!! Both Dasani & Aquafina are municipal tap water. I stick with only Zephyrhills. At least I know that's bottled 30 mi away fresh from the Zephyrhills spring.

Water is a slow poison. It eventually kills anyone who drinks it. Don't believe me? Look at the statistics. 99% of the people who died had drunk water within the last year of their life. And you can be sure that 100% of the people who drink water will die. It is a slow poison. It may take year, or even decades. But I can promise you. Anyone who drinks water will eventually die!!!

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

Maybe, we'd be better off as Vampires! "I VANT TO SOAK YOUR BLODE!" (That was me trying on a Transylvanian accent for 'I want to suck your blood)

O.K. folks, for those not familiar with the festival, here's the basic plan:

Tonight, the carnival rides and uh . . . games?!? open at 6pm. The Fernback are scheduled to play over by the dance floor and uh . . . beer concession?!! starting at 8pm. Tonight's festivities end with the midnight showing of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes. (psst! Grumpy! Why does this say "with edited clips from Jurassic Park III?" )

Tomorrow morning we all gather back at the park grounds to start the tomato harvest at 10am. The tomato judging is at 4pm. Be sure to have all your entries in by then! The carnival re-opens at 6pm again, and we'll have the costume contest on the dance floor.

Sunday morning is the big tomato squash at the tomato presses, followed by lunch!

grumpy · « **Reply #89 on:** April 03, 2009, 12:10:21 PM »

Hey!! Don't forget! You'll need to sign a waiver saying you won't hold the carnival libel for any damages, injuries, or death as a result of riding any of the rides. The casino is CASH ONLY!! No checks or credit cards! And we will be checking IDs in the tavern and at all the alcoholic concession stands! Ignore any signs posted by the health department. And the rumors about the safety inspector are lies! All lies!

Oh. Yeah.. Have a great time.

How can wimpy lizards be as terrifying as blood thirsty tomatoes?

*shudder*

I'm with fancyfont. I'm not going anywhere near that roller coaster!

I think I'll go listen the the band . . . They sound really good this year!

fancyfont · « **Reply #92 on:** April 03, 2009, 09:16:19 PM »

Well, last year was the first time.

What did you expect?

I hope Lilo isn't short of breath after. It had to be a workout just getting to Weedovia with her horn.

Fernbacks take requests!

InmemoryofRomeo · « **Reply #93 on:** April 04, 2009, 12:51:11 AM »

Lilo hired me to carry it for her lol she says she will pay me in affection

fancyfont · « **Reply #94 on:** April 04, 2009, 10:41:52 AM »

I know she will do a good job of making it up to you!

gucci_boi7782 · « **Reply #95 on:** April 04, 2009, 10:58:20 AM »

Hahaha, sure she leaves you with all the hard work. And she gets to sit around and look all cute. Oh typical Pleo! :-D

Bob_the_Pleo · « **Reply #96 on:** April 04, 2009, 12:56:28 PM »

Oh . . . man! I stayed up waaaaay too late last night! But the movie was good!

But gotta go harvest tomatoes . . .

gucci_boi7782 · « **Reply #97 on:** April 04, 2009, 12:59:02 PM »

The sad life of a migrant farmer pleo?

Bob_the_Pleo · « **Reply #98 on:** April 04, 2009, 01:13:37 PM »

Uh, no. I think the harvesting of tomatoes has something to do with the reason it's called the "Tomato Harvest Festival". But hey, I just run the place . . .

How are all you band members holding up? You were great last night!!!

fancyfont · « **Reply #99 on:** April 04, 2009, 03:56:56 PM »

The trio of pleos slept in this morning. Peeky was the first up, but he had the most rest prior to playing.
He's been very active today. Sang once for me. When I rub under his chin, no songs!!

Just hicups!!
OK Bob! How close did you get to the rollercoaster
