Day 7: The Water Advisory Is Over
Apparently, the gods themselves have seen fit to honor my efforts to drink tap water by contributing huge quantities of white flakes of ice from the sky.
Because it’s so light and fluffy and easy to blow around, I think I’ll call it “blow.”
There’s a lot of blow in Vancouver. It’s all anyone can talk about. On the weekend, it’s fun to have blow to play with, build snowmen out of, roll around in.
But on Monday, if there’s still a lot of blow lying around, I bet there’ll be a lot of people who can’t make it into work. There might even be some businesses shut down. Schools will be canceled because of too much blow and the danger of driving with blow everywhere.
I went out late last night and took a bunch of pictures of all the blow. They turned out rather nice.
Oh, and I’m still drinking the tap water and I’m still just fine. It’s basically cleared up, but the city hasn’t called off the advisory yet. Tonight, when I checked the turbidity report, the montiro was broken. Maybe the person who’s supposed to be monitoring it, slipped and fell into a big pile of blow.
