We don't have power problems, but we do have water issues. The southern half of town (near the river, no less) is where the bad water is. As a boy, I watched my Grandmother strain the rust out by putting a napkin over the top of the glass. I started drinking spring water out of a bottle ever since...
lol Gotta love Grandma. I never met mine because they all died before I was born but I swear they always have fun ways. Oh yeah, water is major issue for me too around here, but all that fixes itself when there's electricity. They've been fucking with it for the past couple of days because it goes off and on. Very depressing shit.
