"The Melancholic Pedestrian" by Salvador Garmendia

Wow.

I liked this story granted that it was extremely CREEPY.

What kind of sick, twisted, Jekyll and Hydish individual would kill a helpless old lady in her sixties, and a church organist nonetheless.

Though I suppose that's the point- the PERFECT victim...

(I'll update tonight on specific passages that stood out to me)

Water Presentation: Bottled water vs. Municipal water

So, it's going better now that we've actually found some sources, we didn't present today however which is irritating because that means tommorrow is going to be hectic with two quizzes and a presentation.

However I can't complain as Anne was gracious enough to let us go last because we had so much trouble in the beginning.

(Cheers and Kudos for Anne!)

The good news: tomorrow is Friday.

This is starting to appear a lot harder then I had originally thought. The topic is overall starting to become a frustration, it seems as if we can't get a definition for 'municipal water' anywhere, and those that claim to be are extremely vague. I'm simply starting to think that everything is simply tap water through faucet or bottle and there is NO difference between bottled and municipal water.
