RECYCLING, RECYCLING EVERYWHERE

I can't drink tap water. Oh, I can. But as Bartleby was wont to say, "I prefer not to."

To some that may seem silly. To others it may seem upper crust or bourgeois. For me, it's a matter of taste and digestion.

In addition to drinking bottled water, we have a reverse osmosis spout in our kitchen sink and a water softener as well. Fanatic? Possibly, but I drink a lot, though not enough water. And I'm going to be a choosy drinker.

Yes, I do recycle. Yes, I do use my turn signals. Yes, I do not smoke. Not even an occasional cigar; for the last 21 years anyhow. Yes, I observe the no-burn days we have for high pollution warnings in our fair state. And yes I brush twice a day and floss. Oh what a good boy am I.

So if I want the luxury of bottled water, pamper me if I come to visit or we eat out together. Now, if I could get bottled ice.
