   They called a contractor and had the repair done by 5PM, same day.  As far as   
   I know, we didn't even lose    
   water pressure.  Very efficient!

   probably approaching 100 years of age.  Still, when things need to be fixed,   
   they get fixed.  I suppose that's the upside for paying nearly the highest   
   property taxes in the    
   US.

   Jackson PD has divers and police boats, sometimes they have to look for   
   whatever in resevoirs,(Jackson's big Ross Barnett resevoir supplies Jackson's   
   water, there are a few    
   wells too) lakes, ponds, rivers. But, that has nothing to do with the City of   
   Jackson Water Department. Maybe there are certain legal/insurance reasons. I   
   garantee you Chicagp's very own has search and rescue people with boats and   
   divers too.

   > BUTTTTTT,    jimstone.is    said that is not Kobe Bryant's helicopter that   
   crashed. Helicopters/cars/trucks/many boats/boat motors/motor vehicles, even   
   mopeds and bicycles have Identifying numbers/letters/nomenclature on them.   
   Very simple to find out    
   if that really is Kobe Bryant's Helicopter, or not.                Stupid   
   so-called 'pilot', in my opinion. Suppose to do pre-flight checks to see if   
   everything is working OK, before flying. I do believe all Aircraft at least   
   have Altimeters, you can    
   even buy wristwatches that have an Altimer. Mountain climbers wear them all   
   the time.If I was a 'flyboy' or a mountain climber, I would wear   
   one.
