I had to go have the whole toe nail removed yesterday.  I think I may be in even more pain now, but I am not letting up on the pain pills to find out...
Ouch!

I've been watching, but that bermuda still isn't growing.  I think it's about time they turn the sprinklers off.  What do you think?

Also, I got tired of them filling the pool and the overflow going down the storm drain this weekend.  Decided to move the hose over and drench the flower beds for a while.  Heck, since we have so much excess water and plenty of HOA dues money to go around, maybe we should do like CAB said and just keep that pond full!

Maybe they want our bermuda to be the first in town to grow this spring?  ;)

Besides, good clean water is a cheap and unlimited resource so I don't know what everyone is so worried about.

I am sarcastic and have a smart ass attitude.  It's a natural defense against drama, bullshit, and stupidity...

Maybe those sprinklers are just connected to an underground river that they have to relieve the pressure or everyones house/lawn would flood.  Yeah, that's it.

Yeah, that's it... 

Is that somehow connected to when they let the drain under Victoria Falls get so backed up that it DID flood our yards (and darn near our houses!)?

Well, I don't water my lawn at all over the winter. I'll start watering it again around March / April after giving it a good raking and spreading some pre-emergent.

Seems to work fine for me.

you are going to have to come and help me get my lawn pretty.  I want to plant some herbs and vegetables, too.
No Mess Jesus!

Then start from scratch.
