     Please, please, please DO NOT send it by way of south Louisiana.  I
have not had a drop in nine weeks and could use it.  Howevah, things
tend to get overdone in this state.  Am very afraid that when it does
start I'll be in the same boat as Doreen.
     Have any of you guys used drip buckets?  I'm trying them for the
first time to try to save some young trees that are inconvenient to get
a hose to.  Take a five gallon bucket, punch a tiny hole in it, sit it
where you want the water and fill it up.  Water dribbles out slowly,
soaks in as is does rather than running off.  It's not perfect, but it
beats my other alternatives.
