Let there be rain.

A first I thought the title was some new, and hideous, name for a car model.....

Not to detract from the seriousness of the situation described. This seems to be a markedly adverse change to the climate.

Surprisingly a lot of bottled water comes from California.

Got a spring nearby Bob?

I'm willing to send you Lake Erie's finest, but just for you and yours :D

Same here. I'm thinking, well they won't use "Pluvia" if they sell 'em here in the states. Not exactly a sexy car name.

;) Yup, the hose bib right outside next to the humongous sprinkler system valve. You mean you haven't lit Lake Erie on fire yet? You're slacking off Petey, my boy. :D

Our local water district is paying two bucks a sq. ft. to rip out any sod and replace it with xeriscaping. LA county is paying three bucks a foot. :eek:

$2-3 a square foot and you don't have to mow? Score!! My last front yard would've been $14-21k :D

I really don't understand lawns, they're so terrible on so many levels.
