Isn''t there an Indian reservation near by? Perhaps if we give back land stolen from them they will do a rain dance to help out.

No reason to panic. Quality of life has been put on hold to some extent and businesses will soon be unable to stay open, but until people are actually dieing in the streets or a mass evacuation clogs all exit points...why panic...New Orleans is swimming in rain water....give it time...it will work it''s way over to Georgia. Geeeeesh. People are so touchy any more.

Yet our GOP controlled governments here, beholden to the almighty campaign dollars from developers, keep approving more and more 1000 unit 40+ story highrise condo towers and 1000 home subdivisions to be built. In every suburb of Atlanta there are thousands of new homes popping up with landscaped lawns being watered. I watch the highrise going up near my apartment and see them wasting tons of water during the construction. But us lowly residents have to conserve and talk of rationing for us. Conservation in Georgia is only for those who can''t afford to buy a politician.

The problem is that everyone is praying to the wrong god. You better wake up and start praying to the Monkey god if you want water. HA HA

Wrongo chief! what the region needs is BIRTH CONTROL, do the math: less people + less raw materials = the region needs LESS to begin with.

Oh, and how would YOU know what that area needs. You some kind of expert? And remember now, experts don''t know much, they can only deal with only one field at a time. What we need is more rain!

It will be sorted out shortly, Albert Gore is going to climb to the top of Stone Mountain and sing Trisha Yearwood''s "Georgia Rain" Then George Strangelove Bush will Decide whether it will rain or not. Between the two of ''em everyone will have a happy tearful ending. Are''nt you just delighted we have such stalwarts looking after our country.

"Rain''s in this week''s forecast. But this region really needs a downpour for days."

'' ... maybe edible algae and mushroom knick knack artwork could store and possibly even lever or multiply water molecules and microbes ... maybe since we can turn acorns into atomic stars, we can turn acorns into atomic stomachs and forego all the consumption anyways ... ''

okay geniuses, now figure out the origin of space
itself, for ten points. the earth orbits in
an ellipse. it is not a stable place to be.
you could evacuate earth, live in space, or
just put the whole planet on its own course,
and live within it. very simple i know.
its more complicated, but just to be basic.

tuff break for oglethorpe''s colony. no news
is good news, but there is always plenty of news.
sorry, the planet is having orbital decay.
don''t panic. find the inner child within.
or the inner adult. maybe n.o.r.a.d. can
put us back on a proper course.
