    Wet suit (check) Goggles (check) flippers (check) air tank (check) what you get when a main waterline can't hold anymore water. I now have a house boat I’m dumping out the sand box so I can have beach front property too.

    Goodness! I hope they don't have to go onto your property to fix the water line!

    Looks like my lawn here in PA also. Spring rains= spring floods here.

    Wait... you have a lawn in New York City?! Wowee! I lived in the village and the closest thing to a lawn I had was Washington Square Park.

    Send some of that rain to El Paso Tx. No rain since Feb 2! We are so so dry. We have fire warnings everywhere!

    in NYC I only have a fire escape. But there is a country/weekend house with a large yard that now looks like a small pond/lake!
