Palms Springs Eternal

Usually the reading of the Travel Section gives me a short and relaxing vacation. But the June 25 edition made my blood boil. We are being told to not flush our toilet, hose off the patio, water the lawn, etc. But out in the middle of the dry desert, there are hundreds of man-made lakes. All that water will evaporate faster than you can blink. It used to be that one went to the desert to see the desert. No more! The developers will see to that. Conservation to the devil.
