The Rain Pours Down Again
It has been another rainy day here in my neck of the woods. Ok, so it isn’t exactly woody here, nor any forests nearby. But the rain comes down relentlessly from morning till night at times. I love it regardless, since it makes the sky dark and gloomy, but my mood is always lifted despite the surroundings. Maybe I just like the darkness of it all, although I’ve never found goth to be part of my system. Just about the only thing that rain makes inconvenient is going from place to place in it. Gets your coat and shoes wet which is irritating when you reach your destination and have to pat it down. Umbrellas seldom help with the winds blowing the droplets of water into your face.
Some people also collect rain water in these areas. Not sure why but I guess it’s for the practical use of it. You can use them as car washing supplies but who really needs it with all that rain pelting down already. Some also use it for gardening down the plants but again, those poor plants are already drowning in rain. Maybe you can use them for dish washing but god I’m not sure how clean rain water is if you consider the amount of pollution in the air and how it all gets mixed with the water when it pours from the heavens.
Of course, most of our water supplies come from rain as well. But they treat it first before it reaches our taps and then we boil it further. Maybe I could collect some of that rain myself and then boil it enough such that pre treatment would not be necessary. Yeah, chlorine isn’t exactly the best substance to accumulate in our bodies either I guess, so maybe straight from the skies water would be the best for us. Still, there’s lot of dust and dirt in it and maybe I should consider getting a filter along with boiling it. Would make it much cleaner and healthier to drink and save me even more money down the road with all that grim news coming out on banks. I really hope my money’s still safe in them otherwise I would have to open one myself at home.
