Water Woes

     Last post I said at latest I'd heard, the city of Jackson, Mississippi had either 37 or 39 water main breaks. Now the latest count is 97!
     Well, yesterday at about noon I went to refill the dogs' water bowl and had no water pressure. I called the water department and old gal told me there was an outage. It was all I could do not to say "No shit? That's why I'm calling!" Anyway, I asked when I could expect restoration of service and she said there was no estimate yet. After I awoke at 8:80 PM to let the kids out to pee pee & boom boom, I heard a knock at the door. IT was Goober from the water department asking if I had water to which I as politely as possible replied that I did not. Then Goober said that he hadn't gotten any call before 4:30 PM. Now that I've had time to chew on this I think it's my civic duty to call the water department and/or the mayor's office and chew on some buttocks regarding this matter.
A#1 I called at noon and was told that the city knew about the outage already.
B#2 Goober said he got a call at 4:30 PM, so why in the Hell did it take him and his crew another 4 hours and 15 minutes to get there?
     Now I realize than Tina Lane isn't a major thoroughfare but still, I pay my water bill and my taxes in a timely manner and I expect my utilities to be repaired likewise.

     This may be too much information but here it is. As I had no water, not even bottles I had to work with what I did have on hand. I had the choice of brushing my teeth with either lemon lime soda or beer. I opted for the soda and actually, it wasn't bad although I did foam up like a rabid dog. Now the rude part... A few times last night at work I hunkered down where I got a whiff of my unwashed self. All I could think was, "You reek fella!" After not washing myself I must say that I stank I can spend days out in the woods and be comfortable if not oblivious to my own B.O. Hey! Out in the woods, hunting and/or fishing  men are supposed to smell a bit gamey. But in town, around women folks I don;t think we should smell  gamey,  especially to the point that we offend ourselves.
     So after letting Vlad & Bella out to pee pee and boom boom  I crunk the water in the shower up to "Boil" and had a happy, happy shower!
