WASHINGTON — A federal judge has ruled that Georgia must stop withdrawing water within three years from a federal reservoir outside Atlanta that is the city’s main water supply.
U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson said Lake Lanier wasn’t built for water supply and the state’s withdrawals are illegal. He acknowledged it would be impossible to immediately stop using the lake because it is metro Atlanta’s main water supply. But he said if the state can’t get permission from Congress within three years, the withdrawals must end.
The Southeastern Water Wars enter a new phase… your move, Georgia.

A friend of mine sent me this card:
It fits my hours and days and weeks sooooo well!
The card is from Susan Mrosek’s wonderful Pondering Pool collection (http://www.ponderingpool.com), a selection of giclees, cards, posters, inspirational images and thoughts, and creative writings.
Buy someone a card!
Write something clever on the inside, put their address on the envelope, and mail it! **

(** Extended description: This is where you scrawl legibly on the inside of a greeting card with a writing utensil, place the card in an envelope, lick-seal the envelope closed, write someone’s address on it, slap a postage stamp in the up-right corner of the envelope, drop it in a nearby portable postal mailing unit — then wait a couple days for gushing spurts of happiness from the recipient. All without going anywhere NEAR a computer, phone, or electronic pocket-gadget! (People used to do this all the time – I swear, is true!))
