    I'm a millionaire! My house is on well water and I have a super high flow of 37 gallons a minute.

    I just need to bottle this stuff and I'm rich!

    Said it before in just the last week. Saw a marine Captain who did not drink coffee or beer almost die while out hunting from drinking the stream water. The other 3 of us biled the water for coffee or drank beer we came out fine. He was in the hospital and almost did not make it.

    Someone up stream from use Butchered 2 elk and left them in the water.

    all rightly then marketing and people to buy all they need

    as a Kid I drank from springs use to be one a local city park a lot used to get water from to avoid drinking the city water for years I am not sure if its still there but remember the city posting as do not drink signs all around it ..
    we have drank well water for 40 + years so far OK as a lot of I am sure [:D]

    I remember visiting a relative down south , all the water they had came from a rain barrel they would mix in Clorox to kill the bad stuff, I even remember the bottles had on the back add XX amount per gallon to do it
    but it still tasted like Clorox when I drank it [xx(]

    Having dealt with a bout of giardia myself around 25 years ago, after drinking water from a mountain spring, I can honestly say that for around a month after, don't be surprised if your farts only make a "woosh" sound.[B)][:I]

    I honestly can't think of anyone I'd wish it on. Well, maybe one or two, but they've probably been poopting their pants and crying daily since Trump got elected anyway.
