I know, Dave, the mind boggles. Memphis tap water is (luckily) some of the
best in the country since we are situated on top of a huge natural acquifer
of artesian water. I have only ever paid for a bottle of water once and
that was in an airport when I was dying of thirst. $2.00 for a bottle of
water!! I still carry that pull-top bottle in my carry-on and fill it and
chill it before I leave the house to go on trips.
