I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles
Channel 10, the municipal info channel, says the "precautionary boil order remains in effect." E. Coli levels are low in a couple of hundred test samples, but regulations require that coliform levels remain low for two consecutive days before they sound the all-clear.
Got too tired to boil last night, am now sorry about that, since there's now no water with which to make coffee. (Also got too tired to go out in search of bottled water.) The cheerful pioneer spirit is sagging in the face of adversity this morning.
Fortunately the teakettle is showing signs of life on the gas burner. The Pyrex pitcher in the microwave is taking forever; I must have punched twelve minutes in total, and nary a bubble has yet appeared.
I can do fine without coffee in the mornings, but I don't want to see the expression on K's face when I hand her a canned Diet Coke.
Go, teakettle!
