[Today’s run: Watson Road – 3.5 miles]<\/p>\n

Went out to eat this evening.\u00a0 My dinner companion had a beer and we both were impressed with this glass that came along with it.<\/p>\n

The glass is tall and thin and tapered.\u00a0 Makes it look like you have a whole lot more than would fit in that little bottle.\u00a0 And in this picture the bottle still has some in it.<\/p>\n

Personally I am not much of a drinker.\u00a0 I don’t like the taste, or the expense.\u00a0 And it doesn’t seem useful to try to get the hang of it.\u00a0 Kind of like cigars:\u00a0 why spend the time and effort to get to liking it if you already know it will turn out badly before the end. Most stuff with alcohol in it tastes like Listerine to me:\u00a0 wine is grape juice with Listerine, beer is a nice creme soda.. with Listerine.\u00a0 (No offense to the Listerine company.\u00a0 It works for mouthwash but not much for a beverage.)<\/p>\n

My particular taste is for sweets, like donuts and rolls.\u00a0 I like cold milk with my donut, thank you.\u00a0 For other drinking occasions I go for cold water and lots of it.<\/p>\n

When we lived in Colorado, up in the mountains, the tap water was just marvelous.\u00a0 In the middle of the night I could get up and wander into the bathroom, let the water run just a bit and it would be so cool and delicious.\u00a0 I don’t see how anything else could be quite that good.\u00a0\u00a0 Here in Mississippi the water is ok.\u00a0 Not as good but still ok.<\/p>\n

Another place I know that had really good tasting tap water was Evanston, IL.\u00a0 Just FYI.<\/p>\n

So when I think of the beer commercials that show the mountain stream flowing and talk about how their beer is made with cold mountain water, I just say skip the beer and give me the water please.<\/p>\n
