I don’t know if you heard about this recently, but trace amounts of prescription drugs have been found in the Denver water supply (yes, the water that comes out of your faucet if you live in Denver.)  One might ask - “How the hell do prescription drugs make it into our water supply?”

There are two theories - neither of which is pleasant to think about.  One theory is that people are dumping them down the toilet …. the other is that people are passing the drugs in their urine!!  You’ll notice that both of these theories point to the fact that our Denver water consists of recycled waste water.

Now I watch The Science Channel and I’m well aware that they have refined filtering techniques and that technically the recycled waste water is deemed safe.  I am also aware that they found only limited parts per million of said prescription drugs in the water - but none the less … they found it!  This leads me to believe that we’re all drinking a few parts per million of everything else that gets flushed down toilets.

This is so very jacked when you think of the fact that we live at the base of the mountains from which the melting snowpack provides water to much of the southwest United States.  So here’s my proposal: Let the residents of Denver enjoy clean water from the melted pure wind-blown snow - and let people in Vegas drink our waste water.

Deal?  Cool - let’s get that fixed then thank you ….

Thanx 4 listening - and if you haven’t already - buy a water filter or a Deep Rock cooler A.S.A.P.
