ps. another 40... water at pole is estimated to cost about $40/gallon to produce. that's $40 every time we flush a toilet. and that's why we are only allowed two 2-minute showers per week...luxury

I don't think I wanna know what that kinda cold feels like. It's hovering in the 20s here and I've already had enough of it.
