Comment on really makes you think

Unless you’re talking well water, that stuff can have a gnarly Sulfur smell to it, though still safe. Can’t seem to get used to that kinda smell though lol

Water quality varies quite a bit. The water in Seattle is significantly better than the water in Florida, for example.

Funny story relating to that, when I was 5 I was told that you couldn’t dig more than 6 feet in Florida because you would hit the “water line,” so I assumed that if you dug further you’d just hit the ocean and drown. Also yes the water there tastes like sulfur all the time and it’s nasty af, had to learn to get over my aversion to water after living there early on.

So silly! The water line in Florida is much shallower than that.

You’re absolutely right, I didn’t think too hard about that part of the story and that kid-brain interpreted “a few feet” as “as tall as my dad.”

Florida water is weird here in the NW. Tap water is fairly “hot” in the summer since the lines are close to the surface. But YMMV. Our bathroom water is distinctly different than the kitchen water, in a tiny house, 8-years old. 🤷🏻♂️
