Water water everywhere and not a drop to drink

There are some things about our human race that absolutely drives me nuts. OK, maybe there’s more than just “some” but this morning, I was reminded of one in particular:

What rediculous over-consumers we are.

This morning, as I head out in my rain slicker (both on me AND my dog), it’s clearly raining and what do I see? My neighbour has their sprinklers running full tilt. Now, I could understand if it had been dry for a few days and grass was drying out and turning brown, but this is VANCOUVER for crying out loud. No one here has irrigation systems because we don’t need them!!! It has been raining since Sunday. The park I take my dog to has practically become a mud bog, and some dude feels he need to further dampen his front lawn…WHILE it’s still raining, nonetheless. Meanwhile, last summer, we were on a water conservation program.

Ahhh…people never cease to amaze me.
