I've noticed every year it seems drier and more arid. Pretty soon, we indeed will be like Arizona. Yuck! Not that I dislike Arizona, it just isn't the climate I want to live in. If Colorado becomes like that, I may have to relocate. Which is sad. It's sad the things we have done to destroy the only planet we have to live on (as of now). <br /><br />@ Gary: I agree that hot tubs and swimming pools are are gluttonous in light of our drying up water supply. A neighbor spends around $500 a month just to water their lawn. I can't imagine spending that on grass!

Daily hygiene is important to everyone and is necessary. But hot tubs, swimming pools, gluttonous landscaping are not. Also, large wardrobes, spotless cars, washing driveways and the like are wasteful.<br /><br />Fresh water is precious and shouldn't be taken for granted. The West will dry up first, sending hoards to wetter areas, only to deplete them faster.<br /><br />Treat water like it's in short supply (which it is) and the lifestyle we enjoy might survive.Gary S Sloanhttp://www.garyssloan.comnoreply@blogger.com
