[Mishmash] When Wrong Is Right

[Fred Atkinson]

    Well,

    The Atlanta and some of the surrounding areas are drastically affected.
There are water restrictions in place.  They are fining people for outdoor
use of water.

    The city of Alpharetta had an outdoor water ban in effect.  One of their
police officers noticed that the Alpharetta City Hall was running their
sprinklers.  He issued them two citations at $750 each.

    They decided to pay it.  Good for them and the cop.

    Regards,



                                                                    Fred
