Speaking of NPR, which as I explained in my last Blog to anyone who doesn't know, stands for National Public Radio, here is a news flash.

Grammie was driving in her car today and listening to the Kojo Show and they decided to talk about bottled water.  The gentleman was explaining that he didn't think it made much sense to ship water from point A to point B, when the people in point B already had perfectly good drinking water and sometimes the people in point A had none.

But here is the news flash.    Now some people in Hawaii are going down 3000 feet in the ocean (which has very salty water, as you may know) and bringing that water up, then taking all the salt away from it (I don't know how that happens, but Gram says it is possible).   After they get all the salt OUT, they put it into TWO OUNCE bottles and sell it for - get this - $33 a bottle. 

People are evidently willing to pay $33 for two ounces of this water because it is concentrated.   Concentrated means that you have to add water to the water to make more water.

I realize I am a dog.   I've known that all my life.   Some would say that dogs are not intelligent, but even me, who in spite of being A Princess is still a dog, knows that it stupid to buy water to make more water.

That's the news for today.
