Ralph's Well Goes Dry
August 24th was the day that the well officially went dry. We had been over at our church and came back and I went over to turn on the water, and it's like it just trickled and went to nothing. "How come I'm out of water. Why is my well going dry?" Then you find out other people are having the same thing and you see all the big agricultural pivots in the area and you're like "well they're pumping all the time. It's their fault." You can't blame the farmers. Farmers are doing what farmers do. Nobody guarantees that you're gonna have water for an eternity when you put a well in.
