I came across an article the other day about a town in Tennessee called Orme that has been severely impacted by the drought in the southeast. Things are so bad in Orme that they are out of water. Seriously. They have trucks bringing in thousands of gallons from Alabama, and the water is rationed out from between 6-9 pm each night. Now I realize that there are places in this world where this happens all the time, but I’m not familiar with other places in America where this is taking place. As much as I believe in conversation and try to conserve water and other resources, there’s no way that my current lifestyle wouldn’t be impacted by only having access to water for a set three hours a day. Want to wash your face with warm water in the morning? Not going to happen. Want to go for a morning run and then take a shower? Sorry. I hope you’ve set aside enough water to brush your teeth. And I don’t even want to know how this is affecting the sanitation systems. But I can tell you that reading stories like this one really does help you to appreciate what you have and how many little things in life we take for granted.
