Water has always been a great concern of mine. I once received a "message" from someone you knew and loved:<br />"Let the waters flow<br />Keep the waters flowing<br />Let the salmon swim<br />Keep the salmon swimming"<br />Our system of dams in this country and the world are like clogs in the arteries of Mother Earth; no wonder She is sick. Water is not permitted to flow underground to be cleansed by minerals, and emerge from natural springs and rivers in crystal clean clear condition.<br />And your argument about the bottled water industry is a horrifying truth. I use your stainless steel container (complete with the new top you sent me!) all the time, filling it with tap water and letting it sit for about 30 minutes so the chlorine can evaporate out of it. Quickly boiled water is my favorite. <br />A great book to add to your new gidget of changing book recommendations is Cadillac Desert, a classic about water commodification in this country.<br />I have read Michael Pollan's book, Botany of Desire, and highly recommend it . . . especially the chapter on humankind's evolving relationship to marijuana, potatoes, the tulip, etc.<br />Another gem is David James Duncan's My Story as Told by Water . . . exquisite (hope I got the title and author right); a series of autobiographical essays based on water.<br />Ohh . . . one other: Ecology of the People by ??? Check Amazon for summaries and author, etc.<br />Enough for now. Many thanks for your efforts for the well-being of our planet<br />much love,<br />mickey Dear Bonnie,
Your blog is really revving up, with YouTube and great photos (and as always, great writing). Water has always been a great concern of mine. I once received a "message" from someone you knew and loved:

Our system of dams in this country and the world are like clogs in the arteries of Mother Earth; no wonder She is sick. Water is not permitted to flow underground to be cleansed by minerals, and emerge from natural springs and rivers in crystal clean clear condition.
And your argument about the bottled water industry is a horrifying truth. I use your stainless steel container (complete with the new top you sent me!) all the time, filling it with tap water and letting it sit for about 30 minutes so the chlorine can evaporate out of it. Quickly boiled water is my favorite.
A great book to add to your new gidget of changing book recommendations is Cadillac Desert, a classic about water commodification in this country.
I have read Michael Pollan's book, Botany of Desire, and highly recommend it . . . especially the chapter on humankind's evolving relationship to marijuana, potatoes, the tulip, etc.
Another gem is David James Duncan's My Story as Told by Water . . . exquisite (hope I got the title and author right); a series of autobiographical essays based on water.
Ohh . . . one other: Ecology of the People by ??? Check Amazon for summaries and author, etc.
Enough for now. Many thanks for your efforts for the well-being of our planet
much love,

It doesn't have to have a motor. Pulling it would be more efficient than 1 woman carrying 1 cannister of water. And where are the men anyway?

Yesterday our local rag treated us to an above the fold picture of dead bird whose stomach included, among other wonderful things, a bic lighter. Unfortunately, there seems little we can do short of trailing ships and ticketing them. Yeah Bonnie, I understand this is becoming all the rage.

Cinti. tap water boiled for 5 seconds is delicious . . . burns off chlorine, some impurities.

Also, a glass of cool tap water set in the sun for minimum of 2 hours is lovely (also loses chlorine.
