"People get more upset about their water than just about anything else. Makes sense: Without water you can't cook. Can't wash yourself or your clothes. Can't brush your teeth. Can't use the john. City people buy a place out here and never give a thought to water. Water is something that just appears when you open a tap, right? Until one day it doesn't, and they don't have a clue how to get it back."
