Shades, Re: water. Dang, they really messed up. Actually that happens a lot. Years ago when municipalities had lots of cast iron pipe they had a real incentive to keep the water to the alkline side but now as most of their network is mostly plastic they could care less. In raw water treatment you use large amounts of alum to floculate the solids (to get the mud out) and the alum makes the water acidic. Chlorine does too. But the treatment plant is supposed to add sufficent lime to bring the Ph back up to neutral. On stocks, my "May Rally" portfolio is down 0.53%. Not looking good. Friday I sold MRK with a 16.9% gain. Market not reacting well to the new CEO. Wish they could have held off for a few months on that so the gain would have been long-term, tax wise. <G> Slagle
