Have you been keeping up with current theme of snow, and the color yellow?

@Tormato No, I like my DHMO rather warm. And ewww, not yellow. Pure, unadulterated, 100% primo DHMO pleez. It can be hard to find these days...and have you seen the prices lately?

I will see the price shortly, as I just received my yearly DHMO bill from the city. I won't pay it today, as very cold and wet DHMO is currently falling from the sky, and I just lost my portable collapsible deflector (TOTES) for it.

That well water near airports that use fire retardant (in Air National Guard training) IS ME.

Two of the city wells are closed down. A huge filtration plant is currently being built within easy eyesight of my garden.

Not pulling your leg at all.

Probably the most ludicrous part of it all was that our city won a national contest for the best tasting drinking water, and months later the wells were shut down.

It's easy enough to look up PFAS and Westfield Massachusetts.
