Water Fountains

I was at the water fountain this morning and as soon as I turned the faucet this stuff started spraying up towards my face. Has anyone had a similar experience?

Actually, I was standing next to the fountain (not even bent-over in drinking fashion...). I fill my glass in the water fountain so my head is rarely near the spigot. So, I turn the handle and a fly comes bursting out of the spigot area like a bat out of hell… straight for my eyes! I freaked out because I thought it was water, but then I realized the difference.

It looks like the beginnings of a good day: a delivery man and I bet on which elevator would appear first.... I won and he told me I was lucky. Then I sold a book on half.com (didn't want to sell it on Amazon because everything was $5 cheaper there). I got a gift basket, which I'll blog about later, and 2 emails from fun friends I don't email enough.

my fascinating faucet experience...at a popular faucet in P.Navona, the women infront of me in line's sunglasses slipped off her head and fell directly into the largish drainage hole. Courageously I offered to stick my hand in the wet hole to retrieve them. I pulled up a pair of sunglasses and the woman said, 'But those aren't mine!' . I retrieved another whopping 4 pairs of sunglasses from the same hole, claiming success in the end.
