Because of the severe drought which has continued this year, water rationing will go into effect on Monday. Lawns can not be watered with automatic sprinklers; driveways, porches, and decks can not be hosed down. You may water by hand, but not only on even-numbered days. Cars can be washed on Wednesday only. The city has hired a new drought patrol crew, which will be looking for offenders. If you are caught, there will be a $50 fine for the first offense and a $100 fine for the second offense. We realize that this is strict, but the drought has affected us dramatically. We ask your co-operation in conserving water.
Besides the drought rules, we ask that you be prudent in your household water use. Turn off the faucet while you brush your teeth. Take short showers; you might even consider turning off the water as you soap up. Don’t wash dishes under running water, and when you wash your clothes, save the final rinse water to begin your next load. Let’s all work together to save our community’s water.

Dear Kate,

How have you been? It has been a long time since I wrote a letter. I was caught up with the holidays and Mama's family came over, so was not able to write any. Hope you have become accustomed to the hostel food there.

When Mama and her family came over, we all went to the Jim Corbett National Park. It was spread on a huge area with huge deciduous and mango trees. There were more than 100 species of trees, with so many varieties of birds, reptiles, and other mammals. The Tigers were the special tourist attractions there.

We also went on an early morning safari and we were able to spot a sambar deer and an elephant. There were the Kalagarh dam and the Corbett falls which were awesome. I will show you all the pictures when you come over for the next holidays.

Also, let's plan to visit there together again when you come here.

Study well, eat well, and sleep well.

Take care.

Love,

Jack
