Big Guy, I missed part of your question about Radon when I was in a hurry this morning. Regarding the question of how common is Radon in drinking water. Well, as far as know it is such a big problem no one even dare to talk about. It can cause stomach cancer if it is ingested. The risk of getting cancer this way is many folds of any other contaminants. EPA is getting ready to release the MCL (maximum contaminant level) allowed in drinking water. However, the issue is how much we have to spend to comply. It will be a shocking number because well water is too widely used in the US. Certain area has much higher Radon level, especially if Uranium mine is near by. I will try to find the exact figure for you if you are interested in to know more. BTW, I am glad to see CCC and WLK both reacted to the 180 point Dow rally. Good luck. Sincerely, Wade
