The Fun Never Ends

Saturday afternoon the primary water pipe for the entire city of Cirebon burst. Unfortunately it appears that one person was sucked up the massive pipe and died. Cirebon, even though we still have chickens, goats, and other creatures is actually larger than Wilmington, Delaware. The reports are saying that the city will have no water for at least 7 days, possibly 14. Our options have been: 1) if you have a well and a pump you turn that on or 2) you buy drinking water and use it for bathing and laundry and cooking. Since the tub in my humble abode leaks we can not fill it with the precious water. We have been relegated to getting the big water cooler jugs and pour them into a bucket then scooping it out. Girl Scout camp was never like this! Needless to say, I opted to go to Regina's house where there is a pump.
