Still spring but has been hot and extremely dry. We are not allowed to water our lawns, wash cars or windows. Can only water with hand held hose with trigger release on certain days and between 6 am and 8 am and then between 8 pm and 10 pm. On the 9th December the water restrictions will be even tighter. No watering outside at all and numerous other restrictions.gkaytaz wrote:You people feeling cold? I will have them install heaters too. Not to mention a good A/C system for the summer heat.jacfan wrote:Are you shivering???
Hey wait, you guys have summer there now don't you. Can't ever get used to it...

In that case it's high time to get the tribal clothes out of the closet and do a rain dancejacfan wrote:There was some talk of it but no.
