Two Random Bits of Yesterday

ellyssianI had to replace the water filter, about half-way through its natural life. During my shower yesterday, the flow slowed to a trickle. I was expecting to just dump out the extra sediment that gets stirred up, 400 feet down, whenever we get excessive rain, but the filter was done. Hopefully the replacement will last more than a few days. Of course, since I was not expecting to replace the filter, I didn't prepare a quantity of water to rinse it out. Had to go use the neighbor's hose, which probably did a better job than a bucket or two of rinse water.
At lunch I noticed a man and woman at a corner booth with somewhere between 6 and 60 kids. The adults got up and left, the woman ordering two of the kids, maybe ages 3 and 6, back to the table despite requests to go to the bathroom. The adults walked out of the restaurant. I noticed they were outside talking, smoking cigarettes. The kids, without adults, sat on the top of the seat backs, ran down between the rows of tables and so on.
