The last time we met at the Tar Heel Tavern was on April 2nd. After that, the inspiration dried out and no Tarheel-brewed amber-colored liquid was flowing for months. With the grass wilting everywhere around us, it was easy to just give up and stop watering one's blogging flowers with creative juices which were in such short supply. Even slippery slopes are not slippery when not wet. And thirst for knowledge is hard to sustain in the presence of real thirst. But, a long series of bad, bad puns aside, it is time to re-start the carnival, open up the taps and let it all flow! In two weeks, the 111st edition of the Tar Heel Tavern will convene at Mistersugar and, you probably guessed by now, the theme is the Drought!
Write an entry about water, rain, lakes, water conservation, drought, North Carolina development policy or other related topic, post it to your own blog, and send a message with your entry's permalink to zuiker+TTHT@gmail.com by 6pm on Friday, October 26, 2007.
If you need help with inspiration, pick up the newest issue of Natural History Magazine which is full of articles about Water written from many different angles: from physics to biology to policy. You have two weeks. And if you write it tomorrow, your post can serve a double-duty as your Blog Action Day contribution.
Oh, and let's see if we can get Tar Heel Tavern back into a regular schedule, so let us know if you want to host future editions.

Bora, draught is not the same as drought, unless the local tavern runs out of beer on tap. :)

Did I overdo the puns?
