Holiday Bummer


E coli breakout in our little Gotham city water supply. Seemed to be confined to the high rent district with the reverse osmosis system. No one got sick, per news reports, but most restaurants and fast food emporiums were forced to close.

Closed over a four day holiday weekend?  That will leave a mark on the old bottom line, and short checks for the workers.

No sweat at our house. We've been drinking bottled water for the past ten years and checking the purity for that long. Spent close to $100 on the tester. Worth every penny. Careful with the showers; lots of soap. Didn't worry, we are hooked to the old antiquated system, like 80 years old antiquated.

In past travels, tried to bring my own water or find a store and buy bottled water. Best municipal water I've tasted is Anchorage. That was a few years ago.

Y'all are smarter than the average... 'Trusting' the water is about like playing russian roulette...

Then there is trusting the ice.
