Boil water warning

[Steve28]

Boil water warning issued for my home town.

Guess how much water I'm going to boil (that I wouldn't otherwise boil)? None! Finally all those 5 gallon glass carboys full of water will pay for themselves with saved electric bills.

Oh yeah, I think I'll take the wife out this weekend to celebrate how a prep finally came in handy.

There used to be a pretty good Scottish Bakery up there on the main road. It was salmon colored on the outside. I don't know if they boiled their water.

Now if only the power would go out so I can use those 17 fucking boxes of candles in the basement.

Seriously, every winter we get a power outage or two and I'm into the candles right away, dozens going. And my NOAA radio going, cause I'm prepared and on top of shit. Then the goddamned power company has the power restored in like less than half an hour. Fuck you power company. Fuck you a lot!

Oops

[Absolutely!]

Quoting for posterity. I am right there with you Steve. Power goes out - race to light the fire and cook some toast over it, bake some potatoes in the embers URGENTLY before the bastards turn it back on.

My brother owned a pet store with about 100 aquariums and went under a boil order for weeks. My mom and I were constantly boiling water and hauling it up to him

You took the fish out first I hope.

This is why she said "owned" in the past tense.....

aquarium water evaporates and you have to add new
