I went hiking with some buddies the other day. We came across a cold crystal clear creek (crik) from the winter run off. It was a hot day and the water was sweet on my parched tounge.
My friends, having not spent much time in the back country, would not drink the water. Being fearful of bacteria or some water bourne disease. Instead, they were tired from thirst for the rest of the hike and drive back to town, whereupon they bought pop to slake their thirst.
That just makes me want to cry.
