Just like the mini-bar, if you drank the Fiji brand water, then you'll be charged $4.5o. Sadly, I did not feel hip enough to drink it. Saw some bling water in my hotel the other week.

There is (alas) no blinging in my future. The idea of paying that much for a bottle of water offends the highlander in these old bones.

One of the reasons I dream of the Blue Ridge is the more prevalent nature of moisture there when compared to the western mountains. I have spent time living on the edge of desert and I prefer moister climes even as I despair over the comfort levels of humidity. Hopefully, one of these tropical systems will run up against the mountains shortly and replenish the groundwater.

It ruins the beauty of the land, making everything turn brown, and lowers the underground water table. It's scary to think about. My neighbor just had to have a new deeper well drilled. I'm holding my breath, hoping mine is deeper than his old one was. Then there's all that plastic that ends up in the landfills, from the thrown away plastic water bottles, causing even another problem. On another subject, say a prayer for the Utah miners!
