Actually upon further review it appears it was a double wardrobe malfunction....At least it's blurry enough to still be considered family friendly by youtube.

This heat wave is really bad. Too much heat and lack of water:
Midwest Heat Wave 2012: Thousands Of Fish Die In Hot Weather
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...6pLid%3D188884LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Thousands of fish are dying in the Midwest as the hot, dry summer dries up rivers and causes water temperatures to climb in some spots to nearly 100 degrees.
About 40,000 shovelnose sturgeon were killed in Iowa last week as water temperatures reached 97 degrees.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be misquoted and used against you.
The weather seems to be cooling a bit and it has rained over 2 inches in the past 2 weeks. Hoping this keeps up. Haven't even had to do too much lawn watering under the cover of darkness
Somebody who posts here frequently has a father who lives in Indy who has watered his lawn all summer. One of his neighbors put a nasty note in his mailbox for selfishly watering his lawn during the watering ban.
He is on a well.

The aquifer under huge areas is the same big pool.......the town wells would probably be in the same aquifer albeit more efficient depending on his system......and probably a nicer thing to do than say putting roundup in his hose.
My whole point in starting this thread.......people need to mind their own business. I had a notice on my door from the town authorities a couple weeks ago saying they had received complaints via their hotline. Based on the time of morning and the length of time I ran the sprinklers, and past history with this family, I have a pretty good idea who the snitch was. They might regret it someday. They better hope they aren't in violation of any HOA bylaws or run afoul of the law or any town ordinances.
It is scary how a guy can decide to keep his grass green, and people get so hateful. If he is on city water, and there are no restrictions, pump away. I'm sure that once the town sees the water level dropping, they will make changes. TD's water probably comes from well fields located in the White River bottom, and theys lots of water there.
People got to realize that we are in a major drought by Indiana standards, but compared to Phoenix, Arizona we are in a rain forest for 2012. Hell, they water the hell out of their yards, and they steal their water from way up north, EVERY YEAR!

Ah...
Nice...
Just make sure you aren't caught.
After a seven page thread you still don't get the fact that the selfish watering of your lawn affects the community as a whole? So no, we don't need to "mind our own business" because your selfish disregard of the community and it's business is affecting the rest of OUR business.

A MANDATORY water ban goes into effect in Bloomington, IN starting Monday. I guess some of the posters who were talking about how the drought in the Northern communities of IN could affect the Southern communities of IN had a point, didn't they?
Wow.
Wow.
Guess I'm a bit dehydrated.
They have been running at near capacity for a while without 30,000 IU students present. They are about to get a population increase.
Not sure what we got here (lots) but 4.5" fell last night west of Crawfordsville.
Aldo was a very smart man. I've read many citations by him.
A very interesting read is Wilderness and the American Mind by Roderick Nash. I had the opportunity to spend some personal time with him back in the early 80's.

You have to look at the entire situation and how it impacts the community instead of how it is just looking at a single individual.
I'd venture the guess that that vast majority of people are not remotely aware of environmental impact and how something that seems so small and insignificant can snowball out of control into larger, more serious situations.
I think some people fail to grasp the idea that people who don't seem to have a grasp actually have more of a grasp.
Do you mean around the throat of Mother Earth?I think some people fail to grasp the idea that people who don't seem to have a grasp actually have more of a grasp.

If you guys pay my way into the races I'll came back to Indiana. It rained two of the 4 days when I was last there. Rain outs at races and I have a long standing issue.

A lot of rain fell over central Indiana last night. Hoping they lift watering bans soon. Sadly, if they do, you will have many squealing about it just for the fact that folks can start watering their grass again.
This map shows estimated rain from 8 AM WED to 8AM THU (it will update again Friday morning):
(Old map)
At least four inches in Fishers.

Cancer sucks.
True. It's a good thing the majority of those 30,000 students live in dorms and have no need to water their lawns.
I think we still need several weeks of steady rain to bring us out of the drought situation.
http://www.indystar.com/article/2012...t|IndyStar.comDried-up wells and malfunctioning pumps have caused hundreds of private wells to slow to a trickle -- or worse, stop altogether.
Indiana's Department of Natural Resources has reported at least 100 calls from people who think the summer's historic drought is to blame. Other well installers have seen even more. In the majority of cases, DNR spokesman Mark Basch said, shallow wells are drying up.
That is exactly what I have been saying all along about the water table. It is a finite source. If not recharged and constantly being pulled from, it will run out. Its all connected. It takes a village.
Well, and we all know that every village as at least one old cantankerous curmudgeon who has to go against the grain and water his lawn whenever he damn well feels like it.
Lots of curmudgeons in my village.
This is the weekly precip map through 8 am today. Widespread four-inch coverage throughout central Indiana, with pockets of 8+.
Wow!
