It's one thing we needn't take for granted... just now take a minute to imagine its absence. By drinking our city water and re-filling our metal bottles, we are twice lucky - able to drink clean water and moreover to know that we didn't buy some Coca-Cola plastic bottled water of questionable origins..(questionable to the point of intolerable!) We have more fresh water in the mid-west than most other places on earth..I wonder why we would pay to be ripped off and rip off some other country of their meager supply at the same time!<br /><br /><br />Here are couple photos of cute kids enjoying a free drink! Rosy cheeks and happy faces! By the luck of the draw we have it-- so share it.
