Shuffle Off To Buffalo!

    "Off we're going to Shuffle,
Shuffle off to Buffalo."
   (From the film 42nd Street)
     I shuffled off to Buffalo
yesterday. More specifically,
I shuffled off to the "Water
Buffalo" that was set out in
our development in the wake
of our water outage.
      I've done many a story on
these trailer born water tanks
that are brought to areas where
people need water for drinking,
cooking, or whatever.
      It was great to have one at
my disposal after some 35 hours
without water.
      It was also a pleasure to see
workers and equipment set up
near the spot where a suspected
water leak and the broken valve
thought to have caused our
problems was located.
       The situation afforded my
wife the opportunity to see a
brand new business in our
local strip mall.
       It's a Laundromat. And
even though it's just across
the street.... it had water. So, the
laundry she volunteered to do
for my daughter two days ago
finally got done! Such good
fortune!
      After a brief trip out of town
we returned to find the most pleasant
sight! It was water coming from our
spigot!!!
      Our personal drought had ended!
      Then, of course, the rain came!
      Hoping for a very long shower
today and that all your NEWS is
good!
