In all seriousness regarding my water situation, I really didn't have it bad at all. I just liked the camping comparison. A friend of mine had his pipes burst, a man's house burned down when it caught fire as he tried to thaw his pipes, I'm sure there will be people who passed away because they were trying to use their ovens for heat, people had their cars stuck in ice from water main breaks, and there are so many other people who have much tougher things to worry about when it gets this cold. People who don't have a warm place to sleep and would be thrilled to have a place like my little house with or without water.
Then there was little Nyia Miangel Page who froze to death after her father hit her over the head and then put her outside because she got out of her bed before he was ready to get up. There's really nothing I can say that expresses the horror I feel when I think about that precious little girl and what she must have gone through.

That story just made me so sick. How can anyone hurt a child like that? I think there is no punishment too severe for people who do things like that.
That just stopped me cold. How horrible. How beyond horrible. There's no words for that.
