How do they make holy water? Well, I'll evade that question - but let me tell you that holy water gets slimy if you don't change it often. Every time the priest does baptisms, I water the flowers with the old holy water, and use the newly-blessed baptismal water.

We have a well on the west side of the house, and a septic tank and leach field on the east side, separated by a hundred yards of distance and 50 feet of elevation. This was all built in the 1940s, and I wonder if it's really safe. I keep meaning to have our drinking water tested, but haven't gotten around to it. Our irrigation water comes from a 19th century ditch, down the hill from the leach field. No way I'd drink that ditch water.

I don't believe in bottled water. Our well water tastes a whole lot better.
