I would lower that to probably less than 10 seconds.

Nobody watched it?

Finally got to watch it. Very funny!

Funny comes from the truth and self-deprecation. Something leftists simply do not have.

Our water comes from a well and is as pure as can be.

well water is not necessarily pure, in fact it is bound to have something other than h2o in it. not all of that is beneficial. have you had it tested ?

Yes, before we moved in, and since. It has some dissolved minerals, no pathogenic bacteria, no man-made products, no toxic substances.

good. all that stuff is possibly in the water table and can change so you just have to play it safe.

Thankfully there was no mining, farming, or industry around here. We live on a bluff area in the woods about half a mile from Lake Superior. Our well water comes from summer rain/winter snowmelt. It does have some mineral content (mostly iron), but it IS crystal clear with no iron taste. Best water I've ever had, esp. after having to drink city water most of my life.

quite a lot of stuff thats not h2o in city water.

you will remember acid rain I'm sure. industry from quite far off can deposit its crap on your ground which wil make its way to your water table.
you are in a fairly good spot but anything happening to your west is a threat. annual testing is a worth wild insurance policy.

It sure is, and thanks. Acid rain did a huge destructive number on both the Great Lakes themselves, and the area around them. People are still not recommended to eat large amounts of fish caught from Lake Michigan, for example, due to mercury deposited from dirty coal.

yup. that stuff hangs around forever. almost literally.
we had a toxin released into Virginia waterways many years ago and made its way into the seafood and related flora/fauna.
My brothers and Dad had gone charter fishing in the Chesapeake Bay just before the story broke, caught our limits in fish and had to destroy all of them.
I'm a conservationist at heart but see no conflict with conservastism.
I'm not too comfortable with any food coming out of China. They still use primarily coal for power so the mercury is a real threat.

All well water has impurities in it.

I hear you and do not buy it either. Let's all hope that they do not repeal the country of origin labeling regulations.

I also don't eat shrimp or other seafood from the Gulf, since the BP disaster in 2010.
