The news today announced, "Lead in New York City drinking water! We recommend you let the water run for 30 seconds before using it." Ah, that's what makes it taste so good! And is "30 seconds" really going to make a difference?
Mom lets the water run for about five minutes before using it, so what's another 30 seconds!?
I had to give up my concern about the world running out of water and the possibility of "water wars" in order to live here with her.
