water, water..... where?

Thursday, June 26th 10:30am

Flishing the toilet can be a danger to your health. Did you know that one good flush can aerosolize tons of particles and disperse them throughout your bathroom? I learned this year that one should put their toothbrush in the medicine cabinet so that there is no fecal-oral transmission of particles... did I just go too far? Flushing the toilet is becoming even more of a challenge here because we haven't had water in 2 days. Hopefully we'll get it before shabbat because I'd like to take a shower... I might go to the student housing for Yale students and use thier shower, they have HOT water!

Here is a small list of stuff that I miss from home / the US: Hot running water in your bathroom, smooth roads, driving faster than 20 mph, street lights, meat, barbeques...(seriously, I will have a BBQ for every meal when I get back), swimming, being able to drink water from the tap, being able to wear open toed shoes outside of the house, taxis with less than 14 people in them (no joke), internet that moves faster than it did in 1995, MOM'S COOKING!

Do you want me to dry a salami, then send it to you? You wouldn't get it for a while, as I'd need to dry it first, but it'd let you have some meat. Personally, I can't stand the stuff, but Naftali likes it.

The dry salami sounds like a good idea Danny... Also, beef jerky lasts a good while (I think about a week or two unrefrigerated, two months in the fridge). If you want, I can make some in my dehydrator and send it to you... How long will you be there?
