So after I dropped the VeryVickieChick off at work I drove back to the pad wondering just what I could talk about in today's update. The answer was sent to me before I even got a chance to get home in the form of a phone call....
DO NOT DRINK THE WATER IN PHOENIX UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE!!!
Yeah, how do you like the sound of that!?!???
Apparently the news is spreading on the radio and on television that the water here has been contaminated by something in the run off from Flagstaff. Remember my post about seeing the snow last week??? Yep that was in Flagstaff, now I'm kinda glad I didn't have the chance to stop!
Best part is I can't find a single bit of news to tell me what the Hell is IN the water. Bacteria, chemicals, bat droppings, radiological waste, no one is talking!
So it was off to the gas station with a pocket fully of hastily scrambled change this morning to buy a bag of ice and a gallon of water for me and El Gato Calico.
We can't drink the tap water, wash our hands in it, brush our teeth with it, etc. Here's hoping this doesn't last for long, the idea of bathing in Perrier is offensive for more reasons than just the monetary ones.
Bobo of course is across the street at the college with my garden hose spraying down every college student he can reach. Well that's not entirely true, he seems to be aiming primarily for the preps, jocks, rich kids and conservatives and totally skipping the cute girls.
Best-Monkey-Ever!!!
Hope you all have a happy and safe Monkeyday!!!

I go in, grab a gallon and ask "how did you make the coffee ???"
"We have a filter for that..."
"What kind of filter ???"
"Reverse Osmosis, I think..."
"Same as the 25 cent machine ???"
