the well runs dry. Well Folks, today, the well didn't run dry; the tap did. It happens that here in Cote d'Ivoire you will sometimes experience a lapse in water service that can last any where from a few hours to several days. Well, this morning I woke up to do the daily ritual and learned as I prepared to take my usual cold morning shower that there was no water to be had.
"Well by golly", you say, "that sucks!". Well, it doesn't. You wanna know why? Cause I have a back-up source - a have a well! That's right. Right here in my apartment complex, we have a good ol' old fashioned well.
Unlike our neighbors who must think ahead and conserve water in buckets long before the lines of H2o are cut, we simply go to the well when our taps run dry. Lucky scoundrels, yes we are.
