Hey, you slid the pool & waterfall in after the fact. I suppose he irrigates his lawn, otherwise he wouldn't have one.

My advice to him is, if you want to play, to have to pay. I don't have a great deal of sympathy for some crybaby with a cement pond bitching about how much water costs.

Much less bitching about how we're all gonna run out of water.

Sorry about sliding it in late. Remembered it after the initial posting. But the guy built his home before the drilling started. Seems out West property owners don't own mineral rights. Just because someone can afford a very nice home with a pool and waterfall what bearing does that have on a company contaminating a well? Then getting away with it!

Forcing a home owner to but water by the truck load when they had a sweet water well before.

Then the homes in PA that the state was making the drilling company build a nine mile pipe line for city water. Then surprise surprise a deal is struck by the lawyers just to have the company buy them out. Seems it was a lot cheaper forcing family's off their now contaminated land.

It's difficult to formulate a response whenever you're fed additional information after the fact.

But a sweet water well in Texas??? Like I said, I still don't see how a rattlesnake could make a living down there, and it's the only place where I've caught dysentery.

Never eat in a Mexican mom & pop two miles from the border. In the middle of nowhere.

When I was a young man I got dysentery on my honeymoon. Took six months for me to recuperate. I dropped to 167 pounds! (210 is about perfect for me)
