Glug glug glug glug

As I have been saying for weeks, the first thing I did when I walked into my apartment in Boston was to drink three large glasses of tap water.  With ice.  Despite throwing chlorine into every glass of water I had in Nepal, I still caught two stomach bugs within the course of a week... One of them at 4,100 meters above sea level, one of them just before I caught a 24-hour long flight.  The tropical diseases seemed to want to save the best for last.  My glass of clean H2O came not a minute too soon.

Then, I reported into to work this morning and found this email waiting for me on top of the pile in my inbox:

Subject: Do not drink water order for Boston

Please be advised that due to a major water leak in Weston, communities
east of Weston have been impacted, including the City of Boston.  There
is currently a do not drink tap water order in the City of Boston.  We
will notify you when the ban is over and it is safe to drink the water
again.

Well, as the song goes: "Love that dirty water... Boston, you're my home."
