style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Microsoft Sans Serif"'>What I’ve wondered
is why, when people are concerned about water, and even in drought times, no
one seems to raise the question of why so many think they must have a shower
every day, and why so many who do feel it’s their meditation time, so they
should have a very LONG one. Not only does showering your body every day
remove its protective oils, but it probably, altogether in this nation, uses up
far more water than lawns do.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

primary issue of climate change. I looked at my front lawn this morning and
thought, "This is the time to dig it up and plant a native, drought
tolerant ground cover of some kind. Our ground water in the San Joaquin Valley
is polluted with nitrates, but it's still precious. Hopefully, some young
people are working on purifying it. Thankfully, we have a good snow pack so far
this season. I pray for rain (and sanity) for my native state of Texas. Hope
appeareth indeed.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
