The ICE freezer where we get bagged crushed ice at the grocery store.

I used to swim in a pool when I was a kid. I wouldn’t now. I’ve never swam in a lake or river or ocean, and I never ever would. First of all there would be fish in there, and I hate fish, plus you know what fish do in the water? Yeah, you do. Ick! Ick! Ick!

I like rain water. Rain is refreshing after our hot dry and dusty days here. We sometimes just go stand out in the rain.

I’m glad our houses have running water. It seems like it would have been very hard to have to pump water or haul water back in the old days.

But we did haul water a lot, in the very recent past. Where we lived, the water was so horrible tasting and smelling and bad that everyone we knew would drive 5 miles to another place where we could fill up jugs with water to take home. (this was before there were water mill places on every corner like now)

And, now we mostly buy bottled water to drink, but use tap water for everything else.

I saw this round blue metal street cap thing in Kansas City Missouri, I don’t know what it is called, but it is embossed with KCMO Water, and has a symbol of a water spout fountain. I think it is so workers can get under the street to work on water pipes.
