Water being used to melt frozen water......................interesting concept.
I have heard that pure water melts clothing and can turn your hair green, so maybe there is some truth in it?
You're gonna get promotion one day young man, I can smell it.
Give yourself a pat on the back.
Stay safe out there.  ;)
