Back in the day, when native Arizonan Hugh Downs was working on the Today Show in New York, he’d get a cactus to remind him of home, and within days he’d drown it. Somewhere along the line he got the brilliant idea to subscribe to a hometown newspaper and have it send to his office at NBC. From that, he’d only water the cactus when the paper said it rained back home. Never had another problem with a cactus after that.
