A Mixed Blessing....

It seems I find myself with the rest of the week off.

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that right now the municipal water here in Alamosa is undrinkable. But after this morning at 9am, the water becomes absolutely toxic. In order to flush out the salmonella contamination, the water department is sending humungous amounts of chlorine through the pipes for the next few days, making our water useless for anything other than flushing toilets. Because of this, the Alamosa School District has cancelled classes for the rest of the week- as has the local college.

Not ones to sit around and mope (or subject ourselves to accidental chlorine burns), Dev and I have decided to declare an extended Spring Break, go get our fishing licenses and fishing poles, and take off on a fishing trip. Then we'll go back to Montrose and kick back with his parents- where we can idle away the week in a place where there is healthy retail therapy nearby.

So in a way this sucks, but in a way it will be nice to have the rest of the week off! :)

Whohoo - water you can drink and a fishing pole - I can't believe Dev is going to go fishing with you :)

Have fun!
