G'day G'day Folks,

 While strolling through the local supermarket I chanced upon one of
the check-out operators standing by a water cooler.   

"This is our coffee break," she said with a tone that may well have
been accusing.

"Phew.  _Coffee_  would really dehydrate you in this weather," 
 I rejoined.    

El Nino is making its dry blustery presence felt this year.    

"Tch.  They don't even give us a chair to sit down." 

Something tells me this is covered in the Employment Contracts Act. 
I nod thoughtfully.   Not much I can do there at that moment.   Later
I might jolly the management up on this.   They are very responsive to
customer requests.   A gentle rarking should do it. 

One of the better features of thinking one's own thought is that the
silence invites further volunteering of information. 

"I suppose water it is better than nothing."   she said,  eyes
flashing with a hint of indignation.  

"Or it could be that sometimes, ...  nothing is better than water." 

The idea sunk in like water into a parched  land and she smiled. 
Quite a sweet smile.   Her composure returned.
