Tempe water is disgusting. It's brown, or if it's not brown it's off-yellow with chunky brown bits in it and it smells like muddy plastic. We thought, no problem, we'll just buy a Brita filter and filter all our drinking water. Ahh.. .the naivety of youth. On our tenth time filtering the same cup of water and still not finding it close to palatable Kate and I decided to take drastic measures - we rented a water cooler. That I can confidently say was the best purchase we ever made. EVER. If you move to Arizona you become a giant sponge, a camel, a fish thrown onto the beach where your skin dries up and shrivels you and shade is your new best friend and water is worth more than diamonds. Okay not really because then we really couldn't afford it but still. The water's nice.
