Watering the lawn

I got up this morning and scanned the headlines. Among other things, I learned that Noblesville is under a water emergency. So, when I went for a run, it was a little jarring to see several lawns being watered. To be clear, Lafayette is not under a water emergency, but still, as a guy who doesn’t especially like mowing his lawn, it seems odd to use a scarce resource in a way that is sure to create work for yourself. All, so what? Your grass will be green? I’ve been passively trying to kill my grass ever since I became a home owner. Grass is pretty durable stuff – it’ll survive a period of brownness. But, I suppose I’m in the minority on this one. Conservation by way of laziness and aesthetic indifference isn’t really a common Hoosier trait, I don’t suspect.
