Where I Live

The area of the country in which I live has been suffering from drought conditions for a very long time.  There are legal fights over water; states sharing and not sharing water..and, in the summer, restrictions on when you can water your lawn.  Which is funny when you think about it because there are no restrictions on the amount of water the is wasted watering the golf course that hosts the Masters Golf  Tournament.

People are always coming up with ways to conserve water or to use what we have more wisely.   I found this suggestion in the Rants & Raves:

"It's funny that our government is too spineless to suggest that men pee outside when they can be discreet to help with the worst drought in 50 years.  This would be a huge water savings!"

I'm gonna have to research the merits of urinating on one's plants.  I'm thinking my azaleas might really bloom this Spring if I send Big B outside to do his business.

Interestingly enough this next rant hits both golfing and the topic of urinating outside:

"A rant to hunters who come to play golf dressed in jeans, plaid shirts and orange jackets.  Please remember where you are.  Also, you can't just relieve yourself next to a tree by the tee box."

Hm.  Guys who pee outside playing golf.  Looks like those courses get plenty of water, huh?

A Pathetic Bit O' Knitting

Thanks for all the good wishes for Boogie.  She's doing fine.  She's pretty congested but otherwise okay.  Yeah!

So look!  One half of Fetching!  Not only had I hit the blogging doldrums but the knitting ones as well. I'm working on the second one at the Thursday knititng group.  Only I could take one of the quickest projects around and turn it into a month long ordeal.  I'll put the specs up once the it's mate is finished...probably around the yeat 2010.

I've been trying to catch up on all the blogs I read but Bloglines is loading very slowly.  Eek.  I'll pay you a visit when you least expect it...like a rude family member who drops in and doesn't take the hint that it's time to go.
