I don’t drink water outside unless I can see the source, it’s above 12,000 feet (tree line), there is no evidence of human activity above, it’s cold and it looks pristine. It’s worked so far.
As farm kids we would jump in any old cow drinking pond filled with mud green water, frogs, snakes and cow dung. Never got sick in the tropics from local water or food.The only problem we had wasn't directly from the water, it was the blood sucking leeches. The ones in the water were bad but the tree drop versions were nasty. They would bleed you like a vampire.

According to Cleveland.com's Marc Bona, Bud Light's vice president of marketing, Andy Goeler, announced Tuesday that the company is placing "victory fridges" in strategic areas around Cleveland that will automatically open when the Browns win a game: "We're always cheering for them. Obviously they haven't won in a while. We're putting victory fridges out into the marketplace. When the Cleveland Browns win, at the end of the game, these refrigerators...will send a wireless signal that will unlock them and give fans the opportunity to have a celebratory Bud Light."

Deputies were called to the scene at 2:40 p.m Saturday. Earlier, in the morning, a manager at the grocery store could smell the odor coming from the pillar, according to Sheriff's Department Lt. John Corina.
...
On Monday, Corina said, a man was pulled over by deputies after he was suspected of driving a stolen vehicle. He ran into the grocery store and went onto the rooftop as he fled from deputies.

They never got ahold of him, and according to Corina, the rooftop has access to the inside of the stone pillars where the body was found. It's possible the man fell or climbed into the pillar to hide from law enforcement.

Drivers doing doughnuts around each other Sunday night in the middle of Portland’s Fremont Bridge, stopping traffic headed northbound for about 20 minutes.

I admit to giggling when Nuru told me about plans for the Poop Patrol the other day. But in a city where people called 311 to report feces a whopping 14,597 times between Jan. 1 and Monday morning, public piles of poop are serious business.


For the record, that’s about 65 calls regarding sidewalk poop every day. And it’s 2,427 more calls on the stinky subject than were made in the same time period last year.

The Poop Patrol idea sprung from conversations between Nuru and Mayor London Breed, both of whom have expressed disgust with the filthy conditions of our sidewalks.
