I guess "wild" drinking water is about geography.
  If I was in the desert or out on the plains and came across a small 
mudhole, I would definitely think twice.
  I know Matt Dillon would drink his fill and fill up the canteens, but 
I would certainly hesitate.
     Meanwhile, when the creek is flowing at 1000 gallons per minute, 
splashing and gurgling and swirling strong current,  and you can count 
the pebbles on the bottom of a 10' deep swimming hole, and fish are 
f-cking in it?
  Yeah I drink that water everyday.
My town has a water system that has nothing but a filter and a meter.  
The filter is not all that big because there isn't much to filter out. 
The meter watches bacterial content but seldom needs to correct with 
chlorine at all.
   We bathe and wash our cars in natural Sparkletts here.

  Apple wood is like no other. Not maple, peach, pear, walnut or 
cocobolo is anything like it.
       Your ancestors were not idiots!
  Regardless of the latest sales pitch, nothing else compares to apple 
in a saw handle. Its velvet. Once its polished and worn in just a bit, 
it reaches back and caresses your palm better than velvet, as you work.

     Don't bother to believe me. Go get yourself an old apple handled 
saw and clean it up and try it out for a few hours -hard- work.
  Beechwood or even rosewood will have blistered your unaccustomed palm 
in an hour.
     Apple won't though.   You can go all day, if you can take the labor.
     yours Scott
