Downey Water

Downey water has bacteria in it. We were notified that we are not to drink the water. We have to boil it for several minutes or treat it with chlorine bleach before using it. It is OK to bathe in it but not drink it. So most of the restaurants in Downey were closed today and probably will be tomorrow too. Our Senior group from church went to Baker's Square and they had bottled water for the occasion. They said that their sodas were bottled too. So it was very nice and we had a good time together. We went all the way to Bellflower for dinner and many restaurants there were closed too. It is kind of scary to think about. We have all probably ingested the bacteria last week or even yesterday so I guess I feel philosophical about it. No sense in worrying about it now. All will be well in a few days. They have assured us of this.
