I have always heard that if you crack an egg on top of your coffee grounds before you brew, it tastes better.  I tried this this morning and it did not go well for me.  It turned out like egg drop soup.  After straining it, it doesn't taste bad, just weird.  Like Postum.

Also, leaving the pot on cooked the egg in the guts of the coffee maker

The Water Element is not under control

Why so much about water all of a sudden?  Those who have known me for a long time know I have an inherited tendency to lurch into new subjects with great energy from time to time and  water has been popping up a lot lately.  There are lots of interesting water-related issues to write about and I have a special blog category about water.  A recent two part NPR Morning edition story captures some of the issues that come into play.

Way too huge of a subject:  Fishing to plumbing to sewage to mercury to bonding bills to drought.

thirsty businesses look back to the rust belt

Milwaukee has plenty of water, however, and that rust belt city is using low water and sewer rates to lure companies to set up shop there and keep the ones that are already there happy.
