Drank well water when young in Mount Morris. Then the water in Flint, Michigan. Water I can't remember in Iowa City. But here, in Saint Paul, Minnesota, some bubbly water added to city water makes water more delightful. Certainly better than out of a fountain when having worked at the University of Minnesota for 20 or so years running a microscope lab, which then made me a microscopist. And a scientist with a B.A.degree in Journalism. Published a best seller. Among microscopists. Got a free dinner from the editor, in a French restaurant, eating oversized shrimp and one brandy after another to get something from having spent months doing the whole book--the whole book--graphics, writing, images AND editing. Publisher did nothing, nada! Why that happens, why take on everything, why DO everything, too often, why?
Must be the water.
