some water

hello there

not all that much (as if there ever is, look you see), really. just an unusual, or peculiar solution to a water issue which i recently witnessed. but, and i do mean but, hang on. i am absolutely not an expert in this (or any other) field, so please do not take this as me being critical. just, well, surprised. 

circumstances, or life in general, led to me being rather keenly or even acutely aware of a water supply issue with a particular building. these issues, or problems, emerged and became evident a mere month after some upgrades and enhancements were made to it all, with the promise that they would make something which worked perfectly well even better. alas, this is how the modern world works - anything that is just fine as it is gets f****d with by someone who knows better and is made worse. 

unless, of course, there is some method or reason here i am unaware of, or just too overweight and out of date to comprehend. i fail to see how taking a perfectly working and stable water supply and turning it into one which fails to deliver water on a frequent basis is an improvement. maybe this brave new generation of today knows something which i do not, and it is so. but i doubt it. 

from what i could gather, presented here in the greater good and glory of Commodore 64 mode, of course, the solution to a lack of water was to create a precision, any mason would be proud of hole in a wall, shove a big pipe in it and make an attempt to produce a brand new lake (or river) to the maps of our land with the "excess" or "overflow". in absolute fairness this did mean that the taps within all of a sudden worked as they are supposed to, and once did prior to "upgrades". this, however, seemed a little bit like an excessive waste of a precious resource. 

did i by any chance make one of them animated gif things of all of this? indeed i did. however, it was quite early in the morning, and my system had not yet booted up with the requisite levels of coffee and cigarettes. quite a brain melt moment happened, then, and so i filmed it sideways. that said, here you go, enjoy anyway. 

the answer is yes, at some stage a water mender did make a further visit and mended it, or did something so that water did not just gush out, and no new river or lake was created, saving our hard pressed map makers (cartologists or something i think) from doing any work. also, and so far, the taps have remained in a working fashion. for now. 

it is with some certainty that i can say sure, indeed, if i see any further exciting things like this then i will try and record them for you, preferably the right way around. even if they are not quite so exciting as this, i will do my best. 

be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
