Re: [A/S] About water and our first AS trip



I am really amazed at the paranoia about water.It seams that  the thought is 
that we will die a horrible death if we drink any thing but  bottled distilled 
water.How did I live a healthy life for almost 80 years with  out it. As a 
boy growing up we had a well from which we drew water and stored in  a bucket 
and every one used a common dipper to drink from. Drank from various  springs. 
In Italy drank from various streams in Korea at times drank from  the rice 
paddies  Used halizone pills when available to somewhat purify  water in the 
canteen.  Occasionally I have been known to drink  from the garden hose Use a 
normal garden hose to fill the storage tank on The  Silver Albatross Use a filter 
to kill chlorine and filter out foreign objects. I  rely think that all the 
paranoia Is caused by Madison AVE For the purpose  of selling a lot of over 
priced Produces.
But what do I know
