untreated pond water

not to gross you out or anything, but there was a gigantic water main break (10 foot pipe) that busted out in weston, ma on saturday. one official said that the emergency water supplies that had to be activated more or less contained some "untreated pond water". thanks guy. keep that quote to yourself next time.

so yeah, as of saturday us here in greater boston (minus cambridge and burlington), have been having to boil our water to drink and brush our teeth. this water comes from the quabbin reservoir, and it's delicious all the time, but now it is not!

i got more to write about but i'll leave it at that for now, later.

oh yeah apparently at one point some dude wanted boston to secede from massachusetts and become the 49th state. it didn't happen. but here's a photo of how it would look.
