Water

Have other Davis-area folks been noticing a strong bleach / swimming-pool chlorine sort of smell to their tap water this past week?

(I have, strong enough that I wasn't comfortable drinking it, and I called the MWRA about it last night, but their "24-hour" taste & odor line is just a voicemail box. I plan to try to get a human on the phone tomorrow, and it would be helpful to know how far the problem extends.)

That's what happens when you delegate, I guess.

you know, I'm glad someone got it. or, as I said to someone in IM this morning:

this is probably why my family thinks I have no sense of humour, you know.

I make jokes, I just apparently make them in Sumerian.

I didn't get it when I first saw it this morning, but after I'd had my coffee, the brain cells started firing. :)

Sadly, I had to look up "en ki" in Wikipedia before I understood.

Yeah, I don't really know all that much about Sumerian mythology, but I will always remember Enki as "that god who spooged the Tigris." :)

And semen smells like bleach. It all makes sense now!

OK, I really shouldn't have read that while taking a sip of tea!
