Water: Daily, we all enjoy a priceless world commodity that we (almost) take for granted. As you took your morning showers, brushed your teeth, and had your coffee or hot tea this morning, thousands of gallons of pure clean water surged through the pipes of wherever you live.

Guenther booked the band 38 Special. Presto, the initial block party event was a major hit, Residents finally had something exciting to think about besides bulldozers, concrete and crains. Meanwhile, Joh
