So, Durham, NC has 69 days of water reserves remaining.  Orange county has
180.  So, what to Duke and UNC think is a good use of what little remaining
water we have?

Use it to water fields of astroturf.

I kid you not.

This is the most INSANE, LUDICROUS, and *STUPID* think I have ever
heard.  I don't care if their International (field) Hockey Federation rules
stipulate they have to do it.  They should withdraw from the league if
they hold them to that rule.  This is a matter of life and death (if we run 
out
of water) and yet Duke and UNC are so short-sighted that they go out
and water astroturf!!!!

The mind boggles.
