Live stuff swimming around in it is much better than dead stuff floating
in it...

We have lived in a very rural property for almost 23 years. Our well is
thankfully about 600 feet from the house.
However, our water tank was originally a redwood tank that was (we were
told) a reclaimed pickle barrel. That would have been some huge batch of
pickles at over 5,000 gallons, but I digress. We accelerated our plan to
replace it when I found frogs swimming around in it.

A bit uphill and probably 100 feet away. It was between the
bunkhouse and the woodshed.
The well and reservoir was way up the hill beyond that. I thought
nothing of the weekly sojourns to the reservoir to scoop the dead
mice and other animals off the top of the water. Long bamboo stick
with a strainer wired to the end.

Thanks everyone, I have forwarded your comments.
When I look back at when I was a kid, living in an unpainted
farm house in Oregon, outhouse up the hill from the kitchen
door (that’s right, no toilet in the house, this was before
hippies, my folks were just poor dirt farmers),
I have to marvel at all the good things that have come my way.
Every day I give thanks that warm water comes out my showerhead.

Does this qualify as a humble brag?
You should be proud when your progeny accomplishes something
significant.
Congrats1

But my oldest son made some of the parts of the dragon
capsule that docked at the ISS. Closest I ever got to any
of that was building scale models of the Saturn V when I was
a kid. Exciting times to be alive.
