  1. at least filters do have legit purposes. homes/buildings that are older, still contain lead pipes, which is a source of contamination post water treatment. i believe provincially 10 ppb or something is an acceptable level...people with more than that are advised to use filters.

     

    many people use charcoal filters because it does sometimes change the water. when i lived in london i had to use a brita because the water smelled funny until i filtered it. it may have been part in my head, but it seemed to work.

     

    i agree that "scam" is the best word for bottled water!!!!

     

     

    You might want to change this to the pipes and fittings are soldered with 50/50 lead/tin solder. The carbon filters that are found on the end of tap water are useless due to the contact time and the tunnel effect that occurs as the water passes thru the filter. If you want to remove Taste Odor and organic contaminants then a gravity carbon filter or a Reverse Osmosis system is the best choice.

  2. I keep a few bottles around in the truck, boat and such just to have in case it is needed. The well water here is really good and the city water quality is in the top ten in the nation. The only issues from the bottled water industry is it is unregulated as far as location claims. The crystal glacial water could come from someones kitchen sink faucet in New Jersey and be perfectly true as long as they applied for the name.

    I guess I should clarify.... Please put me in for the drawing but I decline the lure's if I win just the toque pick someone else who can play by the rules for

    the lure package.

     

    Thanks T.J.

  4. I caught a 46 lb Blue cat that when you shook it it rattled. After unhooking it it left a few mussel shells come up. I then checked with a few other fisherman and found it was pretty common. They root them off the bottom and swallow them whole and let the stomach acid open them. Then they pass them from one end or the other to get rid of them.

  5. you should see them here in the Cheasapeake when they blow out balls of bait. It is cast, hook catch, start the boat and follow repeat till you are tired. We call it gun and run as you look to the sky for diving birds then you just follow the school until the action stops.

  6. It seems Cliff that while they did not break the letter of the law... I agree that if a sale item is gone with in a 1/2 hour then the supply offered up is insufficient to the demand. I think that the real crime is the employee that made the comment to you that really was uncalled for. If you went in and bought 10 gallons of milk as a staple for your orphanage instead of a seafood delicacy would he have made the same comment ? I guess you have to look at the fact that he did not know you for the generous person that you are and made a bad judgment call. So go ahead and FRY up them lobsters for Sue and enjoy a good meal.
