Questions

Hi there
A blog reader had a question and I thought I would answer it here for everyone.  Just like we always say in class, "There are no silly questions - and chances are someone else is wondering the very same thing".

The question had to do with my post where I talked about conserving water during a blizzard.  You other Northerners (present and former) reading this can stop now and go back to whatever.

The short answer has to do with the water truck.  If you know a blizzard is looming you fill all your containers, do your laundry and dishes, and have a bath.  If the blizzard hits without warning then you just go without clean dishes and hair.  It is important to conserve water because the water truck may not be able to make deliveries.  The same for the sewage truck - hence the not flushing and other water wasting habits we have.


Thanks for the question.  If you have any thoughts you want to share send them to me via this site or my email (teachingismyreasonforliving@yahoo.ca).  I know that other folks will appreciate your bravery.  It is a my fault that I make assumptions and leave out tiny details that help make the big picture much clearer.  I need all the help I can get -- so question away!
