Spending quite a bit of time at your site this AM and just found the previous water hog info from your link provided -- 50 gallons. But now, cost? Hmm... And I don't live in LA either! Oh, well, still very interesting to read about and consider.

NOTE: In re: to emergency preparedness, the government wants us all to have an emergency stash of about 3 gallons potable water per person per day...

Thank you for the fantastic job you have been doing with your very informative journal posts all these years. You have definite talent -- in more than just one area!

OK, back to something more mundane -- doing the dishes.

Your food photos today are gorgeous! Wishing I lived someplace warm where pommegranites did -- the seeds are beautiful, like jewels... I usually buy one or two per year as a special treat -- love them. So living vicariously through your photos!

Can you again tell us a little more about water hogs in your journal sometime? This morning I am wondering how much they cost and how much water they hold...
