Noticed bottled water for sale at all the convenience stores downtown and a few things occurred to me. Now that it's become so common in cities, I wonder how far off the inevitable price rise is.

Then I recalled that many media shills have been calling water "the new oil" for some time, that fracking and pipelines are ruining a lot of it, that the oil barons have seen peak oil and would like to assure themselves a steady income stream if you'll pardon the pun.

Then, last but not least, I find out this, which really doesn't surprise me.
