Not sure what you have against Texans. Its a great state with great people.
Obviously, the flooding is terrible.
So are the droughts we experience out in West Texas and the High Plains.
It is like watching a slow moving train wreck to see the crops (and your paycheck) wither and burn up from day after day of no rain or moisture.
I guarantee you - it doesn't take much of that to start a guy daydreaming about what it would be like if you just had a way to make use of some of the waste water... I guess its hard to understand unless you've been through it...
