  1. For some reason, Victoria’s Secret has started sending brochures to my house. Not that I’m complaining.

    In other news – it looks like my mother-in-law is going downhill pretty fast. We may have some tough days ahead of us.

  2. They probably got sick from something other than giardia, BHS.

    Stick to very small feeder streams. They haven’t been above ground for long. Not much history to pick up diseases. You all know what I mean.

    Also stick to moving water (ie streams). You’re in trouble if you drink from lakes or ponds or any stagnant water.

    Follow those simple rules and you’re fine.

  3. I used to do a lot of hiking and backpacking in the Southeast and in California.

    I always played it safe and carried a water filter with me.

    I know many people who drank unfiltered and never got sick, but I know a couple who did and were miserable.
    I’d rather not take a chance.
