Tasty Tap

Go figure.
Down by my house on Wahda, they put up two gigantic billbords, they could have brought some snazzy adverts and something to look at while you sit in traffic. But it block the view of the al Khan bridge, which means that you could not see if the bridge is blocked or not. Yeah, it was a bad idea. They soon realized it and began to tear the structure down. The question is didn't anyone just stand on the road and see that it was a useless idea?

For sure after it was too late, after the guys spent two weeks at least 200 feet in the air, in the hot sun, made even hotter by automobile exhust. They took it down.

There seem to be no end of unthought out plans, this goes in the bin with the public park visitors' license, the ban on bicycles on the roads, and now the new on the ban on bottled water from your local bodega.

The latetest mess up is the ban on local shops selling the 5 gallon of water. The excuse is that the store are using tap water. The probably are, buy hey, it tastes great! Also, that is doesn't have that nasty rusty brown color in it that non-bottle tap has.
I know, there are dirty rotten scoundrels selling foul water, like that guy off of Wahda, around the corner from the Rainbow House buffet opposite Shop and Save who was selling gasoline tainted water in those big bottles. I went to his shop and complained about this serious health hazard and this rascal snapped, "Well, no one else is complaining." "So, what, you could have killed me or my daughter." I never darkened his door again.

Still, why not hire a group of inspectors, there are so many locals looking for jobs? In this glorified labor camp e.g. UAE, who will be at home waiting to receive the waterman? There days life is getting nastier by the minute, so perhaps your niehbour with pinch it, if she gets hard up for a cup of life. Go Figure.
Perhaps the team that figures out which ideas are stupid and should be chucked will get on this one soon...
InshaAllah
