We have arrived through the looking glass to the other side of the world. And as we learn our new world there are some differences to keep in mind: cold water is stored on the top of buildings and since the outdoor temperatures stay above 100 (and hotter) at all times right now the cold water tap is actually hot. Since cold is hot, there is no need to turn on the water heater, which means the hot water heater now stores the cooler water indoors. Hot is cold (or warm really), cold is hot. Our resilient children have actually adjusted to this much quicker than me—it’s kind of funny to think before you turn on the tap… “now, which is which again?”
