Excellent video! Now we need a video of a wine tasting to complete the picture. My favorite part of listening to my wine connoisseur friends is hearing about all the different fruit tastes in the wine. Strawberries, blackberries, cherries, etc. As far as I know wine is made from grapes, fermented grapes. The rest, as they say, is pure BS. Back to bottled water: By the way, NYC tap water is very good but I strongly recommend that before drinking NYC tap water you first try to find out if the building where the faucet is located has a roof tank. You know those famous iconic tanks located on so many NYC roof tops. I worked for over 30 years as a plumbing engineer in NYC and I inspected many a roof tank. These tanks are often part of the domestic water system (many of the tanks are for fire protection water only): the water is pumped into the tank and then fed via gravity to the domestic water system, where it comes out of the tap. I can tell you from first hand experience that you don't want to drink any water that has been in a NYC roof tank because those tanks contain lots of nasty things like dead pigeons, rats, cats, birds, etc. So try to check the exact source before you drink it or, at the very least, filter the water first. +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: wood_constructed_roof_mounted_water_storage_tanks_LSS1_0049_034.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14799| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphpnj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10827 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98740 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
