Pool has 18000 gallons clean water in it. Neighbors the same. Will ride Saturday probably. At least wife laid in a good supply of beer.
seems overlooked in prep--I think I'd have a life straw or something similar if I lived in an area subject to flooding or other cause where water supply pumps could get knocked out. and a camping solar shower, 'cause who wants to deal with cold showers.
