The only thing I’ve wanted to drink since my knee replacement surgery is sparkling water. So my gratitude today is not just for my SodaStream device (with two extra cartridges), but also for a refrigerator to keep it cold and actual safe water coming out of the Fairfax County system through the tap.
I've lived where
the water was contaminated and where there was a cholera epidemic and I’m grateful
that my Brita filter is probably superfluous, and that I don’t have to actually
boil water for 10 minutes before drinking it.
I’m also
grateful that—aside from California in drought—I have not had water rationed
and that I can take a swig or wash my hands whenever I fancy. These are basic
necessities of life, but they’re luxuries for millions of people around the
earth.
What the hell is
up with that?
