So it turns out that the eight glasses of water a day thing is a myth. I hate it when disinformation is propagated by trade groups for their own benefit. I also hate it when people can't read - in my search for info on this myth, I found that the origination of the recommendation might have been an actual scientific study where they said that X number of milliliters of water should be consumed per day and (here's the important part) about half of that amount comes from the food we eat. X = about 8 glasses of water, and a legend is born. Sheesh.
Also, I've picked my candidate. Lisa Rogers is running for president. Yay! C. probably won't let me vote for her, but I'm enjoying the thought. There should be more folksingers elected to political office. Especially if they are as irritated as I am by the pronunciation "nucular."
