Saginaw's Water
There was an article in today's Saginaw News about the fact that Saginaw needs an upgrade in its water system. Right now, the water quality is pretty good - at least it tastes pretty good. It's better than a lot of places I've been to. But, lke a lot of the USofA infrastructure, it's old - some pipes are over 100 years old.
The Public Works director was interviewed about it in the paper. What scares me is that he has brags about still using a VCR, and has actually heard of DVD players going for $100. It's nice to know that the person responsible for putting our water system into the future is so firmly stuck in the past. A quick check at Best Buy shows four players under $50.
