Water! Water!

With the drought continuing in California the Governor has placed in effect severe water rationing regulations. Now a prominent Hollywood celebrity has been fined for taking tanker loads of water from a local hydrant for use on his estate presumably to grow avocados. Some years ago, with a hurricane threatening in South Florida, our port manager in Port Everglades had the foresight to fill two 5000 gallon container tanks with potable water for use by our employees and terminal. But FEMA came along and expropriated these tanks presumably for a higher priority. Several weeks later after the storm had passed thru we went looking for our empty tanks. We found them at the local zoo. Fortunately, all two legged and four legged mammals survived.
