So they're throwing a baby shower for someone at work today. She's about to pop a human out. It's supposed to be a surprise but the girl whose pregnant might not come in. :D My boss asked her if she was coming in and she said I might see you next week.

Well at least there should still be cake. (I'm assuming as it is usually served at many showers at work functions.)

How does 4 houses on a well work. What would have happened if somebody had been away?

Well that's a good question

Yes that is a good question. To answer how four houses work. First, it does when you don’t have a drought, someone runs the well dry by abusing water, or something in the well breaks down. We have managed fine.
Around here in the 80s they built, aka a subdivision, with so many houses. The rule then was four houses per well. Our subdivision is 8 so two wells. We just happen to have one on our property. The other one is on house near the cul-de-sac. And we just found out their well got replaced a few weeks ago. The ruling is different now. I think two per well.
We have only had to replace the pressure part that pulls the water up the pipes once since 1982. We got close to running out of water during the drought years ago but that was it.
Last week I got the power bill for the pump. I knew something was wrong. It jumped from $30 to $85.
DH and one of our neighbors got down there last night and replaced the pressure part but the pump was not cutting off. We had some water but not much.
DH called a well guy this morning. I have to meet with him to see what it is. If the pump has to be replaced, we are looking at around $4500 and up. And he can’t replace it until tomorrow.
So not going to be a good day today.😟
But on a positive note, we at least have money to pay for it. 😊

I asked some who lived in FL how did they survive without AC back in the day. One guy advised me he would drink ice cold lemonade kicking back in his rocking chair on the front porch late into the night with his friends then when tired, then retired for the night using no blankets and just a pillow and bedsheets.
