    Global Warming – Climate change – whatever you want to call it –some places will get abnormally heavy rains and some will get very little. Same goes for the heat and cold. In north central Florida rain has been scares for a long time. Now we have salt water intrusion and many wells are going dry. How ironic that Nestle Water (bottled water from Levy County) will be donating free bottled water. Isn’t that nice of them to give us a few bottles of water from the millions of gallons they have pumped out of our aquifer.
