It's January all right.

One of the disadvantages of living way the hell out in the boondocks is well water. Granted, you don't have to pay a water bill (yet), but the water is as it comes out of the ground- hard, with grit, sand, and occasionally rust or sulfur.

And, occasionally, the well pump dies.

Like it did today, in the middle of my laundry.

Getting it replaced will be complicated; the pump was installed before I moved here, and long before Hurricane Rita, which blocked the back entrance to our yard. Vernon ran wires across the driveway to his work shed, which -should- but may not be disconnected now, but will have to be raised or cut in order for a well truck to get to the well.

Oh, and let's not forget -expensive.-

And the water's out until at least Tuesday, fun fun fun, because nobody can even get the replacement pump up here until then...

Water, water, everywhere...

I'd be happy so send you some of California's rainwater...we have had much more than enough.
