The state of Georgia, stricken by months of drought, confirmed Friday that it will sue the Army Corps of Engineers.


Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue had said Wednesday the state would seek an injunction forcing the Corps to stem the flow of water from Lake Lanier, Atlanta's primary water source.

The Corps administers the lake, which supplies most of the water to Georgia's capital and feeds the Chattahoochee River, which winds through three states.

The town of Orme, Tennessee, also trucks in water, three times a week -- for everybody.

"We are high and dry," Mayor Tony Ream said.

Meanwhile, Franklin has enacted her own personal measures.


"I've cut the time in the shower," she said. "I don't wait for the water to get hot. I kinda shiver for a few minutes.

"I put a bucket in it and I use that collected water to water the two flowers I would like to save." E-mail to a friend E-mail to a friend

1. The cretins should sue the neighbors who wantonly water their lawns every day.

Those brainless nincompoops, doing their deed despite their state of emergency as decreed by the authorities, are the more prominent problem right now. A freakin' blade of grass having higher priority than one's self, one's family, and one's neighbor? Give me strength...
