Yeah, filling the up with concrete is dumb. Throw all of the old sorb from Peacock in there, that should do it.

Or they could just tell all the water bottlers, "You can't pull water out of the aquifer any more. Sorry! See ya!"

I felt badly about the deer and hope that she didn't suffer. Thanks to the city workers who pulled her out.

So do we have any new dive sites?

A doe had fallen into a newly formed sinkhole on Friday, Sept. 14, and contracted workers at the city of High Springs’ sewer plant tried to save the deer by climbing into the new sinkhole. The hole is so deep it is hard to see the bottom.

The workers were able to get the deer out of the hole by using a rope to lower a worker into the hole and then hoisting the deer and the worker out. Unfortunately, the deer later died.

Less than 10 feet in width but more 50 feet deep, the sinkhole was the first of many discovered in High Spring after a Thursday, Sept. 15, torrential downpour. That downpour brought 5.4 inches to the area in 8 hours, according to Megan Wetherington with the Suwannee River Water Management District.I'd love to see their calendar. At least Monday the 21st was a real day :)
