I love it when a plan comes together …when two recent 6000 miles… blog posts are linked by some external force or means.
I’ve been talking a lot about the local water restrictions (because it is big, big news here) and yesterday, I mentioned how people hate “drones” because they think that they are spying on them.
Guess what, readers – today, there was this on the Cape Talk website:
The City says about 20 000 residents are guilty of excessive water consumption.
It was revealed on Friday that the largest water consumers include the green belt of Newlands and Constantia as well as neighbouring suburbs Athlone, Newfields, Rylands and Lansdowne.In the northern suburbs, more big consumers are to be found in Kraaifontein, while further afield verdant Somerset West is another water-guzzling area.
Yeah, “water-guzzling”, “verdant” Somerset West. Sort yourself out.
The City says they will be working with residents to reduce usage before taking harsher measures.
Limberg says they will begin introducing new technology such as drones.
ROBOTIC SPY CAMERAS! EYES IN THE SKY! IT’S LIKE 1984 ALL OVER AGAIN. (I MEAN THE BOOK, NOT THE YEAR!) (DRONES HADN’T REALLY BEEN INVENTED BACK THEN.) IT’S INVADING MY PRIVACY AND LET’S FACE IT, THE OPERATORS ARE ACTUALLY JUST LOOKING FOR BIKINI-CLAD SUNBATHERS IN THE BACK GARDENS, AREN’T THEY? SICKOS!
See what I mean?
My lawn is looking quite lush because I’ve been using the bath and shower water on it.
“IT’S LIKE 1984 ALL OVER AGAIN. (I MEAN THE BOOK, NOT THE YEAR!) (DRONES HADN’T REALLY BEEN INVENTED BACK THEN.) ” – My brother just completed a build project for a replica of a drone circa 1939, so maybe an alternative fact about them not being invented back then. Perhaps the mass produced ones weren’t quite so popular back then but they definitely did exist.
The Pete > Jawellnofine. You win. But not the quadcopter sort. But you still win.
Ami Kapilevich > Apparently, bathing and showering on your lawn is a good way to repel City Spy Drones.
