I took this Brit fly fishing way up in the alpine. Hours from the nearest house. Blazing warm day. I lean into the river and drink. I fill my canteen. He says, "You drink from the river?"

I was dumbstruck. "You go ahead and drink your plastic jug, I'll drink God's water with all it's minerals and nutrients."

Shook my head.

Too bad about the Zoom but I think I would have been at work already anyway.
