my "newly repaired" well apparently suffered some shocks to its system during the storm. I can't get more than 15 gallons at a time out of it and then it cuts out. the well guy is coming back tomorrow... I hope it's nothing too serious *fingers crossed*

Is a small water tower a possibility?

Electricity, heat in the winter, and running water are very high up the list of civilization.

But I think that you might agree at the moment.

I'd agree with you if the order were reversed.

I have no idea what a water tower is

MONDAY!!!

I got a flat tire halfway to work. I drove to walmart and dropped off the car. I went back home to wait the two hour time estimate out and noticed front yard pipe leak. Digging up frozen yard now. I took a break and called work to see what happened in the telecon I missed. It turns out some jackass took advantage of me not being there and asked for something from my boss that I have been telling him was a bad idea.

Boss bought off on it and now I am calling a few dozen people reversing things and putting out fires all while my pipes still are not 100% dug out.

I'll swap ya' my well problems for your frozen pipe!

[happy_terd]

Good luck with the water. I'll help you hope for the best. But when all else fails:

Put on your Christmas-outfit when the well-guy comes along. No need to keep your fingers crossed.Think: Christmas-spirit.

An elevated, and covered, water trough would work. Two of these would do.

Water Tank, 100 Gallon $85 each

The best I've gone to are in New York and Boston.

And as for good Mexican restaurants in Pennsylvania, there are none. The best Mexican restaurants have been in Florida and Virginia.

Chinese food in eastern PA is a mixed bag. Some have one, or possibly two, good dishes. But no one restaurant has more.

Somehow I can't see a Mexican restaurant doing well in Japan.

I know of one or two good Italian resstaurants in Eastern PA. But you're so right about the Mexican food BUT there's a big Spanish population here and you can get some really yummy Spanish food.
