June 25 - Well Update on a Slow Newsday

A Leftover Item from Yesterday and a Week Ago -
It was brought to my attention yesterday that the well, when it was drilled, encountered a significant vein of underground dihydrogenmonoxide, which is now permeating the plumbing system. This situation remains even after the full day of purging the well of sand, frogs and other undesirable materials. I was able to confirm this finding with a graduate chemical engineer. The engineer informed me that this compound, when allowed to infiltrate into the human respiratory system can cause coughing, choking and breathing difficulties. He explained that as little as two tablespoons penetrating into the lungs can be fatal. He further explained that this chemical, when heated, turns vaporous and can then cause severe injury to exposed skin. We have reason to be cautious.

In this age of EPA, FDA, OSHA and all manner of other regulatory work relating to medical, food and environmental safety, I am surprised by the dearth of  applicable regulations. Without being able to rely on the government for specific guidance on this matter, it seems like the best we can do is keep our eyes on it and see how it flushes out.
