City of (Brown) Fountains
In the middle of tonight's storm, I got a call from Sippy Cup from Ink's Winey Girls Club.
She lives in an apartment in the Crossroads and wanted to know if my power was off.
Not sure. I was in the Northland eating filet with my in-laws.
Her power was gone.
Worse: She had what she called "a shit volcano" exploding out of her toilet. And shower. And sink.
Oh - and it was raining in her living room. Apparently the roof leaks.
Her cat really wanted to watch the show in the bathroom.
I asked if her neighbors also had brown fountains.
She wasn't sure, as she hadn't ventured into the hallway, and, being a Southern lady, was trying to figure out a nice to broach the subject of "shit volcanos" with her neighbors.
Her landlord - found in a bar - said she couldn't find anyone to come out and fix Sippy Cup's plumbing.
So Sippy went to bed, hoping her power would be back on around 1 a.m. and that her bathroom would stop erupting.
