We started the month of July with an electrical outage and we are ending the month with a water line break. I was leaving the house around 4:00 in the afternoon on Saturday to meet some friends for drinks and dinner. I saw this river of water gushing up from the ground and flowing down the street outside the gate. In fact, those two cars you see were driving very slowly so as not to splash the water.
Water and electricity....we take these things for granted until they fail us. In spite of these two recent inconveniences, I consider myself very fortunate to live where I do. There are far too many people around the world who have neither of these or other basic benefits.

I hope the water line break got sorted quickly and didn’t cause too much damage.
One advantage of condo living,with 1,000 homes in one place, we are a priority for getting service restored when things go wrong. And yes, there are millions of people who lack access to what we take for granted.
That is so true. We do take many things for granted.
Hopefully there is nothing left to go wrong, Sharon. We are lucky to live where we do.
We are blessed with so many modern conveniences.
That's a very good point. We get impatient without our conveniences but many people never have water or power.
