I do not understand why so many people buy bottled water at the mall.
It seems that in the U.S. only, or Europe, we spend billion of dollars in bottled water each year, that crazy!

Personally I get the water I dink from a public water spring here in the town where i live in.
When that is not available due to safety reasons I drink tap water wich is good here.
If you want to Google my town look for Brusimpiano, Italy.
It’s a nice little town by the lake of Lugano probanly the size of a single block of L.A.

Thanks

Generally speaking ,I strongly believe humore plays a very important role in creating a delightful atmosphere for leaning languages.
My apology , if sometimes I cross the line.

I personaly believe ,The humour expedites the absorbing process of the freshly introduced materials.
I must say ,warren’s posts are always riddled with words and expressions enteries that are totally new to me.
I ,for one ,really enjoye his posts. And I would love it if I could see more of his works around the blog

Dear warren ,
I can get enough of your posts
Indeed ,Jeff has a good eye for spotting the best in the linguistic ,academic world.

Waren ,my good man
I appriciate the effort

Yours truly

Peter,

French river is different. It is geniuly a part of an intact nature flowing through a secluded area all along. Even in some parts ,the river is flanked by tall seamless rocks that makes it even more perfect and original.
There is just one smalt part of highway that blemishes an otherwise a perfect picture. The highway overlooks a small part of the river from which you can see people canoeing through the river and the highway is closed enough to wave hello to people enjoying on the river; if you wanna greet them you must shot at the top of your voice otherwise there would be no way they can hear.needless to say that part of the highway overlooking the river is a very popular pit spot . Oddly enough , there are no restrooms ,plaza,or resturants of any kinds over there . It is just a vast shoulder on the side of the highway that is always so packed with parked cars that gives an illusion of a severe pile-up or sth as you are driving pass the shoulder.
need less to say there are a lot of rubberneckers (thanks Lucy , Podcast 287) who slow down the traffic in the area:)

Yours

The rubbernecker:))

but ,I don’t know how it taste like
As far as I know most people ,at least the people I know buy bottels of drinking water simply because they have their doubts about the pipe lines that carry water in to the household. They argue that the pipe lines get rusty after a while and the build-up rust contaminates the potable water along the way and makes the tap water toxic.
On the other hand ,some response, ” Baloney ” the tap watter is as pure as it can get.:)

Now ,whose side are on?:)

Well, what matters is that now ,we know.

Yours

Peter

The river runs through an intact nature that has remained intact for 200 or 300 Houndred years. Can you believe that . It is amazing
But ,every body around Canada knows it as a sort if very popular trivia

Warren ,my man
I have been up there.
In fact ,we as a group canoed in the river for more than one week.as you can see it wasn’t a recursion by any means. It was quite a trip. we canoe down the river
And put up tents on the bank by the river during the night.
We set up tents , made bonfire ,cooked ,wrestled ,arm wrestled , And the funniest of all we made shaddow puppets on the tent.

We were a realtively large group consisting of 20 individuals, guys and gals
All in all, It was a fun trip.
Every summer ,I usually have a two or three trips up there for some sailing:))
I know Jeff might think I m crazy or sth. But, let me tell you I love a nature walk through weeds and plants that are sometimes up to my waste ,and guys I m 6.3 tall. Go figure!!
I know how much Jeff hates it:))
Dear Jeff,
Color me cuckoo ,but I love every second of it )

Dear warren thanks for the beautiful post
Your post was quite a trip down LA river.
I gotta tell you, i always enjoy reading your posts ,and I love to see more of you on blog.

Thanks

Dude, Your posts make me think; It rarely happens )

Transferring water from adjacent basin to another basin is Interbasin Water transferring which is done for three major reasons. First and foremost is alleviating water shortage. Second reason is hydroelectrically purposes, and finally in some cases it use for political reasons. By any means which water transferring structures created, new ecosystem and manmade scenes will created. Constructing water transfer structures have their own benefits and drawbacks.

I must confess my ignorance. I did not even know that L.A. had a river.
I had never heard of it before.

I looked at it flying over with Google earth. At some points it looks dried out.
It probably depends on the period of the year they took the picture.

I have also noticed there is a little lake there. It’s called lake Silver Lake Reservoire.
How does it taste tap water in L.A.? Is it good?

Thanks
