I grew up on pond water.  The pond was above the house in a 
pasture.  Cattle drank from the pond, pissed and crapped in the pond, my 
brother and I swam in the pond, and we drew house water from the same 
pond.  When the pond was dug a plastic pipe was set in the middle about 
four feet from the bottom.  My father used a County Extension Service 
bulletin to build an activated Charcoal filter in an 8 foot concrete 
box.  I spoke with the current owners a couple years ago and mentioned the 
concrete pit and they said they wondered what that big concrete box was 
for.  They could not dig it out so it is still there.

I spent the summer washing and showering in surface water with no ill 
affects.  At one time I thought maybe I had something but looking back I do 
not believe there was a problem.  I did a bit of research and found a 
recommendation to use garlic, so no problem there, I did.  For drinking I 
used bottled water but other than that the rest was water right from the creek.

It IS amazing, isn't it...I guess it is coded and sent piecemeal ELF or 
ULF as they near the surface...They probably send other messages mixed 
in, just to confuse anyone who is listening! Long gone are the days of 
periscopes and snorkels...they don't have to surface at all and yet, I 
can get an email from somewhere underwater in the Pacific, probably off 
the Korean peninsula.
Anyway, I had feeling pretty sad and sorry for myself...that combined 
with the lack of sleep really had me in a mood earlier, but just getting 
that message turns my whole week..my whole outlook, around...and I will 
sleep well tonight. <G>  Okay, Linda, now we need good news from the K-kid..
