I am certain that our friends with the City Ministry of Environmental Affairs have the means, the good will and the scientific studies to reassure you that the water supply brought by recent weather tidings is of exceptional quality.

Regrettably, in the interest of full disclosure, I am loathe to bring to attention that there is no operative City Ministry of Environmental Affairs.

Unless you are convinced of its sterility: boil your water. Filter it. And maybe try to avoid the singular compulsion of drinking from puddles down the road.

We wouldn't want to extend mere water the courtesy reserved for conveniently timed questionable chocolate pieces fallen from the sky.

I expect no less from a people that found fit to consume unidentified candy rained from the ether.

[signatures]

All right, that's very fair.

[ironmanic]

There is nothing that terrible about eating raining candy. In my opinion.

The commercial appeal of prepackaged trauma cannot be underestimated.

[ironmanic]

Is chalky, terrible candy really that traumatic?

[ TEXT ]

[notelegrams]

Review the situation of early February for additional details.

[ironmanic]

Less traumatic and more making a few people uncomfortable.

[notelegrams]

They - are - certified psychologists.

Even worse.
