@paul asked about how residential well water is being remediated when gas drilling contaminates it. This story discusses a whole-house reverse-osmosis installation. My understanding is that gas drillers aren't installing reverse-osmosis systems very often. They're really not a permanent solution - they take maintenance and money to run, they're noisy, they're slow.

“Both of the homes will be getting reverse osmosis systems which will remove total dissolved solids, chlorides, manganese, iron, dissolved methane and ethane gas from their water supplies,” Tarbell said. “There will also be pumps installed, water softeners and UV light to disinfect the water as part of the project.”

I want to learn to hula hoop. @Dovelette's idea... she lent me a hoop that's currently decorating my bike. I've started to get it, but I need to practice a lot more. It seems I should be able to be pretty proficient if I practice during the bar review.

A game called wasabi...

The environmental law society is raffling this solar charger. I just spent $10 on tickets. (i also ordered two phone batteries on amazon last week... Hopefully they'll show up soon. thanks @paul) hopefully I won't ever be traveling or having a long dayagain and run out of phone.

Spring! Really!

I'm having ravioli but I'm watching the bar tender prep sandwiches at connor's restaurant in west seneca. All the bar munchies I've tried so far have been really yummy.
