158. No more Dihydrogen Monoxide
We are all out of water.
The way the water works is that everyone has a tank in their house. Thee is a pump that pumps water from the tank. When you run out of water you call the city and order a water delivery.
Except that we are out of water.
What most people are doing is getting blocks of ice from the river and bringing it back by snow-machine to put in their water tanks. The problem is, I don't have a snow-machine. I have been scooping snow from outside to fill my tank but it takes an awful lot of snow to make a little water.
The school put honeybuckets in the bathrooms. I don't know how often they are emptied.
