[AT] OT: Was Trombones - now, back to old tractors.

[charlie hill]

Yes Bob it's very dry in the south.  Over here on the coast we are not in 
near as bad shape as the area around Raliegh or down around Atlanta.  They 
are starting to get into bad shape.  The lakes that Atlanta get their water 
from are dropping a foot a week and are already about 30 feet down.  Of 
course the acreage they cover gets to be less and less as the water receeds 
so they are suffering.  I understand that folks in Atlanta are only allowed 
to take 2 or 3 showers a week now.  Absolutely no flower or lawn watering or 
car washing.
