Picked up some groceries this morning. I am not calm under normal circumstances so at this juncture I am a wild animal. And no I don't want "there is nothing to worry about" on my tombstone.
Acting like an Inspector General I was complimenting the store where I thought they were on topic like the woman spraying all the carts and reprimanding them when things were deficient like in the check out line there were no wipes etc.. In fact the elderly gentleman in front of me was telling the cashier he was feeling ill. My luck!
There was no toilet paper or gallon sized water bottles and ok I imagine the manufacture overload but this is retail. Time to cut back on the pomegranates and order enough toilet paper, sanitizers and water to fill up a landfill.
Conspiracy theories are flying left and right but how about the obvious? While most of us are sucking the big one companies like Purell, Charmin, Lysol, Poland Spring etc. have a mile wide grin on their faces to go along with their woody. Last but not least is the medical community. Oh and grocery stores.
Back to the water for a moment. When I was growing up we drank out of the tap. I can't do that now. Not only is it cloudy it tastes a little strange in a bad way. I tried going cold turkey once with tap water for a few days and predictably came down with a wicked stomach ache.
People have to spend a small fortune on bottled water now, another not so hidden cost of modern living, plus the added environmental stress of all that plastic. They sell filters but you have to keep them clean etc. and I imagine some of them are just window dressing?
I suppose some areas have clean drinking water out of the tap but why can't that be the norm across this great country of ours?
One of the best drinking waters is Mountain Valley Spring water out of Hot Springs Arkansas but one has to take out a small mortgage to buy it. And I think they still sell some of it in glass bottles? Full of rich minerals.
What is our tap water full of?
