[MR] Pennsic Water Challenge

[Logan]

"safe and drinkable"?  i would hardly suggest that.  the purity level of
pennsic well water is horribly turbid and anyone who consumes it runs the
risk of peeing from their butt for some time.  in our camp we have to change
each of our filters several times a week and upon returning from pennsic you
can literally scrape the funk off your skin and nails.  bad news......

also, transporting water to pennsic isnt necessary.  there are some tiny
small towns nearby that have places to buy the water there.  ;^)

regards

Period would be to drink beer or small beer. Wine in the south. Small beer
for breakfast and for children.
