My Name is Jimmy: I Live in Mayberry
January 28, 2008 · Print This Article
I was totally looking forward to hitting the Social Matchbox Meetup in McLean this evening. Unfortunately, someone had different plans for me.
Some of you who know me are aware that I live pretty far out of the city, but not that far. In any case we were informed yesterday by the local fire company that there was a manure spill upstream of the water treatment plant and we should not drink any water until further testing was done … manure spill ? Where the hell am I living.
So today we got the results of the testing back and were told there is in fact contamination of the water system and to only drink/use boiled or bottled water. Gee how fun. That is why I was not able to make the event. Instead, I had go buy tons of bottled water. Apparently there has been a hurricane like buying frenzy of water around these parts. Maybe living in the serene farmlands on northern MD has its drawbacks. I feel like I am living in Mayberry right about now.
And to think, tomorrow morning my decision point will revolve around if I want to smell like sh*t or shower in it .. either way I come out smelling like a … well you know.
Time for a gym membership…so you can shower. that really sucks…I know a good Realtor if you need to move, but don’t plan on making any money with sh!tty water.
got cologne?
Mayberry, Walkersville - eh, what’s the difference?
Before we moved to the area we’re in now about 11 yrs ago, we lived in Colony Village - looking right at the back of our townhome straight into the MacD’s parking lot. I don’t think we ever had a “manure spill” though!
