BTW, did anyone else notice how the gummit (?) has been working

There's a good reason for that----the phosphates greatly stimulate
algal growth. They're hard to remove at wastewater plants and
can result in algae blooms in rivers and lakes.

Ah, never considered that! I know I've always *deliberately*
disposed of waste "wash water" (e.g., car wash) *on* the plants
instead of letting it run off into the street (where it does
no good for anything!). We'd considered routing the grey
water from the washing machine out as well but it is an
impractical plumbing chore... (unless we wanted to install
a *pump* for this purpose) :<
