So, does Wisconsin have hard water? Yes. It’s so hard, geologists have to use a diamond-tipped drill just to take a sample. It’s so hard, plumbers don’t fix pipes here; they carve new ones out of the old ones. It’s so hard, I once dropped an ice cube and it bounced.
Is it a nuisance? Absolutely. You will spend your days fighting scale, scrubbing film, and explaining to out-of-state guests why their hair feels like hay. But it’s our nuisance. It’s the price we pay for living on land that was once ground up by a mile-thick glacier. Embrace the crunch.
So go ahead. Fill up your glass. Cheers to the hidden rocks. And if you see a white ring around your toilet bowl? Don’t cry. It’s just Wisconsin saying “hello.”
