so, ah … you nee to correct watta
I trust the notice to the general population was more extensive, but the English-version announcement distributed to the GETs was: “Water will be shut off for 3 days in the Incheon area to allow for construction projects. Prepare as necessary.”
Hmmm – the population affected is approximately equivalent to the entire 7-county Metro area of Minneapolis/St Paul. Imagine that ~ no water for 3 days … not so sexy.
Several people have advised me how to prepare (so, ah .. you nee to correct watta) and I’ve purchased tubs and pails to collect water for household purposes. I’m more disturbed that there will be no interruption in the school schedule, which means no toilets (or hygiene) for 800 male students in the middle school building for 3 days.
BTW – we live on an ISLAND, which would suggest that we are completely surrounded by water.
I understand that we can’t drink it, but I don’t see any reason why the boys can’t bathe …
We’ll see what happens …

Another great memory in the making.
I’d suggest staying away from prunes for a few days.

OK, I’ll admit I was penning a really awesome comment, then bumped the advance mouse piece of s**t tap thingie and deleted it. I’m pretty sure it was awesome. In a nutshell, the Mahins are worried about the catastrophic impact we have experienced being tied to building, but we still have water. Talk about bloody perspective! Sounds like camping at Crescent Lake without the Sierra Nevada!
Hang in there Nanc!
