Summary

Following the driest October recorded in over 150 yeaR, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has issued a drought watch and urged residents to take shorter showers, fix dripping faucets, and implement water-conservation plans.

The city is also repairing a leaky aqueduct, leading to increased reliance on reservoirs in the northern suburbs, which also experienced a drier-than-average October.

      I thought that the issue with Philly is that it didn’t matter whether you asked them or used reverse psychology because they won’t listen and just give you the finger for opening your fuckin mouth.
