   Gonna refrain from any “well running dry” and “what will it take to get things flowing again” comparisons for the moment, except to ponder the classic question of whether art imitates life or life imitates art.

   Me! Me!

   First thing i did when we were being shown the house in Dawsonville several years ago was turn on the water in the kitchen sink and announce that the pressure tank was waterlogged.

   I once lived in a house where the well was so shallow the pump was actually *in* the house (so was the wellhead). When that well quit, we had to have a deeper one drilled in the yard with the pump at the bottom of the shaft. And since it was Alaska, the pipe from the well to the house had to be wrapped in heat tape even though it was buried rather deep.

   “Drive a point’ as in drill a sand point water well. It is not very far to water in a “point well.”

   When I lived over in the Western edge of Southern central Tulsa in the Arkansas River bottom, the house next to the apartment complex where I lived had a sand point well.

   They used city water for household use; but, the lawns and the garden were watered with the well water.

   If I had been on a full VA Disability Pension when the property of 2 1/2 acres with a 3-bedroom/3 bath house was up for sale, I might have been able to buy it. Although it was inside of the city limits, it was zoned for horses.

   My paternal grandfather was an expert at dowsing for water. If a person had a well drilled exactly where Grandad said to do it, they got a great supply of water.

   What’s all this mumbo-jumbo Chuck and Banks talking about? I’m as equally confused as Delores. Are they going to fix her plumbing or not?

    Yes, They are going to fix her plumbing. They are just discussing the best way to do this.

    Thank goodness! I was worried that I was a total redneck or something for knowing this stuff.

    [raises hand] I know what they’re talking about, too!! Helps to have lived in remote VT and had to drill a well for the house…

    I remember when my Grandmother, who had a wellhead in her basement in southern NJ, was forced to cap it because the city water system came out as far as her house and mandated no wells. It was a sad day, as that water was sweet!! (not like the city-water she got…)

    I was waiting for a “Baby Boom” reaction from Dolores!
