Jennifer and Jim kept getting huge water bills. They knew beyond a
doubt that the bills weren't representative of their actual usage,
and no matter how they tried to conserve, the high bills continued..
Although they could see nothing wrong, they had everything checked
for leaks or problems: first the water meter, then outdoor pipes,
indoor pipes, underground pipes, faucets, toilets, washer, ice maker, etc. —
all to no avail. One day Jim was sick and stayed home in bed, but kept
hearing water running downstairs.
He finally tore himself from his sick bed to investigate, and stumbled
onto the cause of such high water bills. Apparently this was happening
all day long when they were not at home. Knowing that few would
believe him, he taped a segment of the 'problem' for posterity —
Now see the attached video.

Good-bye to a Class Act
Genuine Risk, the only filly to finish in the top three in all three U.S. Triple Crown races, died on Monday aged 31.
"She had not been suffering from any previous illness and simply died peacefully of old age," farm official Eric Connolly told Reuters in a telephone interview after Genuine Risk died at Newstead Farm in Upperville, Virginia.
In 1980 she became only the second filly to win the Kentucky Derby. Ridden by Jacinto Vasquez, she also finished second in that year's Preakness and Belmont Stakes.
Genuine Risk was inducted into the U.S. Racing Hall of Fame in 1986 and listed among the 'Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century' by Blood-Horse magazine.
The filly was retired in 1981.
