boiling over


"No one has ever succeeded in keeping nations at war except by lies." : by: Salvador de Madariaga - )

Vancouver has had a boil water advisory posted for the next few days. Yeah Gods, this is not how the day is supposed to go. I'm sitting here with the kettle boiling so I can brush my teeth, trying to avoid a gastrointestinal disease that might be caused if I brush my teeth.

Makes us realize just how important water is to us on a daily basis, as I measure out the jugs of water. Makes us wonder what other things we take for granted. How about electricity, how about a reasonably safe roadway system? We now have peanut free sections on airplanes. We become accustomed to being taken care of how do we ensure our safety at all times?
