Ruminations on Hydrogen and Oxygen
As I was brushing my teeth this morning, I noticed an unusually distinct smell of chlorine.
And then I remembered one of the bad things about living in Iowa City (where I will be moving in the near future to attend the University of Iowa. Pay attention, people!)...the Iowa City water. It is just plain nasty.
I hope I remember where I put my Brita filter pitcher. It's in a box...somewhere. Filtering the water and cooling it in the refrigerator makes it tolerable. Better than paying for bottled water.
And if it gets too bad, you just mix some Kool-Aid or Countrytime in there. Disguises it real good. ;-)

Three jiggers of scotch to one ice cube is just about perfect.
