is it yellow because of the mastodon pee? or was that the goats' fault? either way that bottled water stuff sure does sound risky.

When I lived in southern Illinos, the water was NASTY. It smelled kinda like rotting chicken. Even when we filtered it, it was just not 'right'. When my room mates and I got our first paychecks, we went to walmart and bought all the bottled water we could fit in the cart


Since I moved back home, I seldom get bottled water...tap water works just fine.

I grew up in the Cotswolds in the UK. Our tap water tasted fantastic.

Here in Thailand I drink mineral water. The Minere stuff made by Perrier tastes great and is only 35 cents for a 1.5 litre bottle. Too expensive for most Thais though, so they pour tap water from a hose into a big barrel that then sits in the sun, hopefully killing bacteria, which they then bottle and put in the fridge. If I drank that I'd be sick for days.

They insisted the water was fine...they said it smelled like that because Rend Lake (where the water came from) was 'turning'

I was like 'whatever'...it smells like bait.
