    Yeah, I suppose at the end of the day it's something of a first-world problem...maybe the only people I have a legitimate gripe with are the sewer people for their horrible service. Even then, I know they aren't responsible for the home plumbing situation in this city. Thankfully, our home warranty will cover most of the cost of repair.

    I know a guy in Mexico City who witnessed an entire section of road collapse to reveal a cave where a massive, very old sewage main had burst. He, an engineer and several other people were bathing in hundreds, maybe thousands of gallons of crap as they brought in sandbags to hoist the pipes back together. It took them something like 12 hours to fix the pipes. In places like that, there is no municipal system to begin with.
