We have one in the courtyard, I'm not sure it's fit to drink although it was used for drinking water up to the 1970s when water was piped onto the village. The plants love it though.

It probably goes on in more than Indiana, but there's city water and country water (from a well), amd which one you like ans which one you find repulsive depends on which one you grew up drinking.

Bears…. Lots and lots of bears

I vote that bears can maul as they will in Congress.

I'm not too concerned about drinking but I switched to distilled when there were stories of a person or two dying from an infection caused by bad municipal water used in a neti pot.

Here you have to have a filter or it's undrinkable.

Today I get to start training on disconnecting people from the machines. It'll be great because I'll get to sit amd watch videos for a big chunk of my shift.
But in a couple weeks I am cursed with a week morning shifts.

One trip to India we did not drink out of glasses because they were washed in unclean water, we had to check to see that bottled water had not been refilled from the tap and resealed etc. No ice cream if a scoop was involved because, of course, it was washed with unclean water. That was truly undrinkable water.

Here it'll poison you with lots of nasties, including high and unsafe levels of arsenic. One small town nearby even has a communal dispenser labeled potable water.

@PoetPhilosopher might get a kick out of this. The biohazard bags where all the **** with blood gets tosses are called "bios." To hear them say and then hear me say it, it's almost as profound a difference between hearing an English speaker say something Japanese and then hear a Japanese person say it, something like akuma.
This is because whereas they say it at bio in plural form, it consistently comes out of my mouth as a nerdy *** computer bios.

My father used to say "tomorrow is another day". The obviousness was really a cover for "maybe it will be better"
