lines break every day here from the drouth.  Right now, one of the wells is down for overhaul and we are on restrictions.. altho we should be on restrictions anyway as wells are drying up all over the place.  No water in the two creeks that go across the back of my place...now they are forecasting another year of this.  I am ready for a hurricane to hit the coast.  I don't care if it blows Corpus Christi into my yard...I just want rain.

The fire deparments have been busy today. I saw 5 trucks pass my place so far today and one of the fires was less than a mile from me. My neighbor is worried about his longhorns since they don't have much to eat but plenty to drink. The goats look like hell and if someone throws a cig out the window near me we maight end up with a fire in what was once considered a pasture.

I feel bad for complaining about all the rain we get here now...everyday, every afternoon.

You should, you're hogging all the rain! Typical Californian... 

I have a friend who's i the beef/cattle/farming business and said we should expect a lot of price increases due to this drought..

Insanity is a state of mind-just like Texas

Looks like we are the ones stealing the rain...

Just to give you guys and idea, I don't water the lawn, I water the dogs. They don't like the water spray from the hose and will bite at it. They bark and chase it like a real animal but it cools them down and it's really funny to watch them chase it. They dig into the ground to get to a cooler place and will just lay down in it for a while.   My dogs are the closest thing I have to kids so I have to make sure they're happy and safe.

my dogs come first...

I watch the news in PA wondering how it's affecting Steve and Charlie, knowing it can't be good. I'm on a well here at the shop/apartments and now is when we tend to run out of water. Minimal, it seems, compared to what you're up against. How often does this happen and how have you dealt with before?

Not yet...we'll find out by the end of next week if I'm gonna be a Californian...

We've got 1 well and one tank and we're on public water in my neighborhood. If we use the well for more han 30 minutes it goes dry, but can use it again in an hour. That's about the only thing that worries me right now. I know our well's shallow but some of the deep wells are going dry with the weather like it is.

We are trying to ship Californians to Mexico, or Guatemala.  We don't need anymore of them!
