#278: saturnine

if I'm saturnine

And Flint is only the one in the headlines. There are many, many other cities in water crisis. 

For my small part, I'm working to help promote Proteus Systems, a small company working for fifty years with a proven system that sequesters lead and reduces the effects of corrosive and toxic water.
