Julie,
My eye happened to catch the weather report at the
bottom of your post. And I saw on the news the
problems Texas is having with water--and here in
California we're having a drought. I think I heard
that this is the dryest winter on record.
You'd think that someone could figure out a way to
direct unwanted water and melting snow to parts of the
country that need it. If we cn have cross-country
freeways I don't see why we can't have huge reservoirs
and aqueducts, under or above ground, to channel the
water where it needs to be. OF course you'd have to
have a way to filter unwanted things like snakes and
bugs.
Cindy
