Day Zero, Cape Town, South Africa

Day Zero is the grim name given to the moment, calculated to occur THIS summer, when Cape Town, South Africa, will become the first major metropolitan area in the world to run out of water.  Due to severe drought and a dysfunctional government that has long ignored warnings from climate scientists and water engineers, citizens will be forced to pick up daily rations at emergency stations.


Probably a harbinger of things to come world wide, in my view.  I wonder how many folks will tout out 'prayer' as  the solution to the problem ??

My coworker is from South Africa and she just got back from a 3 week visit. We were like why would you visit when it's running out of water and she was like "eh I made sure the places we are staying are connected to wells."
“What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of what it's supposed to be.”

Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you."
