A first I thought the title was some new, and hideous, name for a car model.....

Not to detract from the seriousness of the situation described. This seems to be a markedly adverse change to the climate.

Got a spring nearby Bob?

I'm willing to send you Lake Erie's finest, but just for you and yours

Same here. I'm thinking, well they won't use "Pluvia" if they sell 'em here in the states. Not exactly a sexy car name.

Yup, the hose bib right outside next to the humongous sprinkler system valve. You mean you haven't lit Lake Erie on fire yet? You're slacking off Petey, my boy.

Our local water district is paying two bucks a sq. ft. to rip out any sod and replace it with xeriscaping. LA county is paying three bucks a foot.

$2-3 a square foot and you don't have to mow? Score!! My last front yard would've been $14-21k

I really don't understand lawns, they're so terrible on so many levels.
