Dude, where's my water?

I often say that, specially when i find out that it's Wednesday, around 2AM.
You're probably asking why, right? Yeah, why?
Because rain decided not to fall upon Sao Paulo anymore! The city is almost 160 days without a single tiny raindrop. This caused a cascade effect, over many aspects of the city's life.
The air is heavier than ever. Without rain, the atmposphere never gets cleaned, and we - residents - are the victims of the over-dusty air. We inhale pure poison, and each day even more people are buying gas-masks to be able to breathe.
Another thing...without rain, trees are dying, and we're not even able to water the trees ourselves. because we need to save the water to our personal needs. Unfortunately, the city is losing it's green cover. Okay, the green cover wasn't big, after all.
Our streets are nastier than ever -- without rain the sidewalks become a sandy place to walk on. This isn't good at all, because our shoes get dirty quicker than before, and how do we clean it without water? It's not possible. Well, someone might send them to a dry-laundry, but it's expensive as hell, and most of us would rather buy galons of drinkable water than spend money cleaning shoes. (Some people spit on their shoes to clean 'em up; i wouldn't say that, but i had to, sorry.)
I'm not gonna say anything about our toilets, not at all. I don't want you to puke. Let's skip that part, right? :)

The worst thing is the water rationing. Each day of the week, an area of Sao Paulo don't receive water, except for the central area, where the rich people live. Go figure, huh?
I decided to write about the water because today i had to take a ultra-high-quick shower. I forgot it was my day to live in the desert.
What shall we do? Cry, to replenish our reservatories?
I love this city. but i hate it at the same time. I'm gonna tell you more about Sao Paulo in some other posts.
Gotta go now, or i'll find the terrible traffic jam. At 5:30 AM, yeah.
