It's crazy here you know. I live in a huge metropolis (well huge for our standards) .. about 4million people. The city centre is built on a river and we are surrounded by beaches. Guess what, we are on high level water restrictions. My city has 27% dam levels. People are banned from watering gardens with hoses, they may use buckets. People are banned from washing their cars, pools must have covers (so the water doesn't evaporate). To the city west of us, Toowoomba, they are on the highest water restrictions, they can't even use a bucket to water their gardens, they aren't allowed to water or wash cars at all ! .. the crazy thing .. the city just south to me the Gold Coast has 90% dam levels, they are swimming in their water like it's Christmas. It's just crazy to think that one of the major cities of Australia can run out of water by 2008.
Wanna hear something else crazy ! Apparently the Catholic church in these parts is running out of priests. Noone wants to become one nowadays, what with the celibacy rule and all. It's true, my work colleagues who are Catholic were up in arms about it yesterday. Apparently some of them can only go to church once a month. Because their Priest has become a travelling priest, he has to visit other parishes every other day of the month. Without a priest they can't have church. It's not even like they live out in the country. They live in one of the local suburbs ..
Water and Clergymen, what is happening here !?
