Boston You're My Home

This is why I stick to booze: "[S]ince 2004, the water provided to more than 49 million people has contained illegal concentrations of chemicals like arsenic or radioactive substances like uranium, as well as dangerous bacteria often found in sewage."

And also, as WC Fields said, fish fuck in it.

Of that 49 million we must assume that at least 20 million voluntarily drank it and half of the rest are undocumented migrant workers.

Good plan–pick your poison. You could mix the booze and the water to kill the bacteria, but I'm not sure it would help with the uranium.

If I wanted to drink watered down booze I would just go to Hiro Ballroom (heyo!)

Not to be a thief or anything, but…

CALL ME.

I blame it all on the LADIES who insist on flushing their tampons!

For well over a decade, the well water in my town had "unacceptable" levels of radium. For years, our municipality "dithered" (love that word) with a Radium Remediation Plan. Suddenly, we got told that our radium was remediated, and that our water was now a-okay.

Of course, I still live two blocks from Fermi Lab, where they have this eight-mile nuclear racetrack that hums all night. Also? My hands and other appendages are really big, so it's difficult to type these messages. And FORGET trying to find a pair of gloves that fit.

On the plus side, I get a lot of work done in the dark.

Vous-etes de la Ou'est? In that case, you only drink Moscow Mules.

I'm sure we're all fine – anything we could possibly catch is countered by all the medication in the water, right?

The report is sorely missing a way to connect this water to being made in China.
