Well Stan, before I leave for work I put 8 bottles of water in the iced cooler of my work truck, and generally drink all 8 bottles before I finsih for the day, usually out of state, rarely at home. When I'm home-home, I drink iced well water all day and all night. I love iced well water and don't drink soda. A case of water of the brand that I drink generally costs me $4.00 per case. Unless my math is wrong, that's under 17 cents per bottle. The cheapest bottle of cold water that I've seen while I'm out and about working all day, is 90 cents a bottle, the 7-Eleven brand. I'm saving about 73 cents per bottle. I don't have any idea what a can of soda costs, but I'll take 17 cents a bottle for ice cold water any day, except when I'm at home drinking iced well water.

As far as iPhones, Droids, and all of that stuff, I consider them to be the newest babysitter. They keep people, adults and children quiet. As an example, a couple of months ago I was at a tire dealer getting some new tires on one of my trucks, and there were 10 of us in the waiting area. I looked around, counted, and chuckled. Of the 10 of us, only two of us were NOT Droiding, iPhoning, whatever they call it. 8 of us 10 were, and I was NOT one of them. And 2 of the people were father and teenage daughter sitting next to each other, not saying a word to each other, both happily sliding fingers from one corner of their Droid or whatever they were, to the other. And that's when I realized that those things have taken over as babysitters for imaginationless adults and children. If the internet ever shuts down or gets shutdown, those people are going to start bouncing off of walls literally, but for now their babysitters are keeping them quiet and out of my hair. Not a bad deal to me, unless I'm driving down the road and one of them Droids out in front of my truck without looking and I either run into them, or run over them. Either way, I'm insured so no big deal.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
