Is the sky falling in Tucson?

“The sky is falling, the sky is falling!”

This is the popular cry from Chicken Little, the popular fable told to kids. In a nutshell, an acorn falls on Chicken Little’s head and mistaking this for the end of the world, runs to warn the king.

This saying also refers to unfounded hysteria that something bad is about to happen, and this fear can lead to bad outcomes. In the story, a Foxy Loxy ends up eating the followers of Chicken Little, all of them members of the bird family.

Lately there has been a lot of talk about water shortages in the Tucson area. Once recent report by water experts in Tucson found that we may have shortages as soon as 2012… only two years from now!
