I mean REAL WATER FAUCETS in your house? That you can get ***gasp*** drinking water from? Do you actually DRINK that water??? And if not, WHY NOT???
I'm asking this because I went to the grocery store today. Granted the weathermen are predicting a big winter storm to be here late tonight, or tomorrow morning. This always precipitates a run on eggs, milk, bread, and BOTTLED WATER!
Now I understand that if your power goes out, you cannot flush your toilets, or wash up, etc, etc, but wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to put away a few old milk bottles, or some such other containers, with water in them, in case there is such a power outtage?
But the run on bottled water boggles the mind. Actually the entire concept of bottled water boggles the mind. I believe I read once, that the concept of bottled water would never take off. Now people seem to think it's better than what's at home "on tap."
Just a small disclaimer...that "Ozarko" water some of you so prefer, comes from the faucets in San Antonio; not some fancy clean, clear aquifer in the Ozarks. Nope, just someone else's tap.
You want "fancy water" with vitamins and minerals...the minerals are probably already in the water you get from your tap; the vitamins you can get in capsule form, from the drug store, and SO much cheaper.
You're concerned about contaminants because you use well water? How about buying a water filter that attaches to your faucet? Works just fine, and, no waste! Like those annoying plastic bottles you throw away, by the ton! (If I were so inclined I could come up with the mind-boggling statistics, but trust me, it's a lot.)
Don't forget, those plastic bottles are a petroleum product, so when you complain about the price of a gallon of gas, just remember, how much "petrol" you're going through when you buy all that bottled waer! Truly food for thought on this Day 79!
