Our water here... jiggly

Is so damn good! I just went down to San Diego for some sunshine and surfing (got to wear a 3/2mm instead of my 5/4mm I use here!), and eat good food. San Diego has some tasty places to eat, and delicious beer also. Ocean Beach had so much weed in the air it was like Eugene x1000. Great farmer's market too!

BUT, their water is kinda gross. Funky taste to it. Came back home, got a glass of water from my tap, and damn...Oregon mountains and watersheds just treat our water right. It's delicious! We are lucky here.

Like the old PBR ad..."it's the water!"

Didn't dumbass hippies in the 80s actually the fluoride removed from our water?

I know the water wasn't fluoridated when I was growing up here in the 80s - I took fluoride supplements. Dentists are always surprised when I tell them I grew up here, I guess it's not common for people my age to not have cavities.
