Creek testing, er....tasting

Speakin of creeks........

Ya ever drink outta a creek when yous a kid?

I did. Back when creek water didnt have all them nasty chemicals in em. Or least we didnt know bout em then.
I remember the first time I drank outta a creek. Me an Dad was walkin thru the woods an (the sly old fox) got me to eat a green persimmon. Gads!!! Hadda get sumthin to wash out that nasty taste. Everyone should eat just one green persimmon, just for the experince.

Anuther time I remember was when me and a friend was exploring uncharted territory on the north forty. It was a normal hot summer day and decided a drink was in order. So the first riffle we came across, we got down an grabbed a few handfulls of wunnerful wet, cool, refreshing water. Really hit the spot. And continued on up the creek.
Hadnt got nearly a hunderd yards an found a "dead calf" laying in the creek. All puffed up an everything. And We DRANK That WATER!!! Bleah!! But it wernt too bad, and we didnt die or nuthin. Still, we made a practice to walk down a creek fore we drank.

Nowadays, yer sposta boil or put bleach in the water....Just in case theres a dead calf somewhere.............
