The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day:

The state of Texas consumes roughly 16 million acre feet of freshwater per year. An acre foot of water is the amount of water needed to cover one acre (about the size of a football field) with one foot of water. That amount is 326,000 gallons. So Texas consumes 16 million x 326,000 gallons of water per year, or 5.3 TRILLION gallons of water annually. About 60 percent of the approximately 16 million acre-feet of water used yearly in Texas is derived from underground formations that make up 9 major and 22 minor aquifers.

The nine major aquifers are:
Pecos Valley
Seymour
Gulf Coast
Carrizo-Wilcox
Hueco-Mesilla Bolsons
Ogallala
Edwards-Trinity (Plateau)
Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone)
Trinity

Here's a handy reference map of those major and minor aquifers.

Traces of Texas reader Travis Taliaferro was nice enough to send in this dynamite 1947 shot, taken at Barton Springs in Austin. This photo shows Travis' maternal grandparents Joe Pierce (22) and Patricia Manning (19), who are the two looking at the camera. With them are their friends Lewis Sledge and Naomi Hayes. Joe and Patricia were both Austin residents and UT students at the time, and had only known each other since the previous year. Joe had been recently demobilized after serving in the navy in World War II. Such a cool shot not only because it's Barton Springs but because it seems like it could be a much newer photo than 1947.

Thank you, Travis. Really super!

Candy Barr was a well-known American stripper, burlesque dancer, and adult film actress who rose to fame in the 1950s and 1960s. She was born Juanita Dale Slusher on July 6, 1935, in Edna, Texas, and began her career as a stripper in Dallas in the early 1950s.
Barr was known for her beauty, charisma, and energetic dance routines, which made her a favorite performer among audiences. She appeared in several films during her career, including the notorious underground film "Smart Alec" (1951), and she was also known for her association with organized crime figures.
Despite her success, Barr's career was cut short when she was arrested in 1959 on charges of possession of less than an ounce of marijuana. She served three years in prison before being released and attempted to revive her career but never recaptured her previous popularity. She was, by all accounts, a kind-hearted person.

Barr died on December 30, 2005, at the age of 70, but she remains an iconic figure in the history of burlesque and adult entertainment.
