Boil Water

I was working in Patent Office headquarters in Alexandria Friday, where they didn’t have water problems, but in the late afternoon, I got to chatting electronically with a friend who was teleworking, and she told me about a water main break in Arlington, and it turns out that I live in the part of Arlington which was affected.

We have been advised to boil water, so I’ve been drinking boiled warm water. I had stuff in the refrigerator for dinner, but I made a tomato, cucumber, and bell pepper salad, with no lettuce or arugula. Washing the pots and pans after dinner was an extra hassle with boiled water instead of untrustworthy tap water. The boil water advisory will last until Sunday morning.
