You know, it kind of sounds that way, but it hasnt changed that much. The state water board had told us all to save 25 , and that expired in february. I think right at the end of february.

By the way, that lasts until october. Then theyll have to make another decision. Thank you, michael. 2, just 2, could make your dreams come true this weekend.
