I seem to remember that NYC tap water won some water-quality contests.
Got empty bottles?

OTOH, if you mean chemically pure you might as well buy distilled water.

"Save your money", comes to mind....
If you must, then for "pure" water uses, store brand distilled
(increasingly hard to find) or store brand "purified for distilled water use";
for drinking, store brand "spring water"; for awakening whisky, "'Acqua Panna'
natural spring water".

Some of their new machines let you feed in multiple checks at once.

Interesting. I assume that, responding to customer complaints, they dug
some of the old ones out of the cellar...

We used to have a lot of checks to deposit. If BofA had been the only
bank with the one-at-a-time current system I would have changed banks
immediately.

From: "His Highness the TibetanMonkey, the Beach Cruiser Philosopher"


This could be interpreted in many ways but it falls upon my shoulders
to ask the tough questions: WHY DO WE NEED TO DRIVE ENORMOUS VEHICLES?
It would have taken three people to lift a Mini off her chest. What if
there weren't 9 people around?

"Miller fell to the ground, with the truck on top of her. She was
having difficulty breathing, and was turning purple.

That's when IHOP manager Jose Preciado and nine others jumped into
action. The group, which also included a cook and several diners,
teamed up to pull the enormous vehicle off of Miller."

Here you may find more interpretations... (including the customary
"god blessing")

Seeing how $200 barely buys a mid-range video card. One can't help but
think the $200 computer will be a cheaply made, underpowered POS.
