Don't Touch the Router

I was trying to extend the wireless connection in the house.  I ordered an extender.  It came in the other day.  I got impatient.  I tried to connect it.  When I was done, the internet was down.  Yesterday, Angie had to fix it.  She said I am not allowed to touch the router.

No Emoji For You!

I told Mia that I was going to look for an Emoji shirt today.  She told me no, I could not get one.  I asked her why.  Her answer, because you can't!  She is the only one allowed to wear emojis.

Poop to Water

I got to visit a water treatment plant yesterday.  It was very informative.  Waste comes into the plant through pipes.  Because Florida is flat, lift stations help the process of moving it through the pipes.  Once there, it is pumped into a tank that separates the solids from the liquids.  For half of the waste, there is bacteria to break down the waste.  If it is truly a solid, then it gets sucked into a waste disposal can. The water moves to an area where chlorine is mixed with the water.  At this point, it can be used.  It is not for consumption, but it can be used on grass.  Then, it is stored until needed.  If too much is processed, then they send it to ponds nearby.

Water Treatment

I just got back from the field trip.  I got to see what happens to waste in our city.  It goes through a process to become recaptured water.  In the beginning, it stinks.  I'm glad we went in the morning.  Stay tuned, I will share more, but my phone is dead.
