I filled my palms with water gathering gorgeous drops on their way down from the getting-on-rusty tap I pulled my palms towards my mouth took a throat-full of the cold nectar on that 38 degree day as I quenched my thirst a little bit, I looked down at the ground and saw that a few drops had slipped finding their way through my palms you can’t have them all I thought as I went for take 2 of the quenching ~ somehow, I think that, bottled water takes away the fun, at least a shade |

38 degrees Celcius makes 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit... That's certainly hot! I had to take a bit of a take at first though, because "38 degrees" means just above freezing here in Ohio  We haven't had too hot of a summer here, but I celebrate the wonder of thirst-quenching water with you! “We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson |

I would agree with you if the water came from a spring, river, waterfall, or other source of natural fresh water, but chlorinated, fluoridated, rusty tap...??? I guess if it's REALLY hot, maybe... (Nice imagery though, true to your style...) -MVS You CAN make a difference: |

Nothing better than a good plunge to pull up the well water - clear, cold, and makes a new person out of you - I swear! |
