    The water here does taste very good - especially compared to the hard Colorado River water we got in CA. It’s also very soft, which is an added bonus. We don’t need rinse agent in the dishwasher and have put away the squeegee we used to have to use on the shower glass every time.

    The article points out that Walz’ recipe is a lot like Walz - solidly midwestern but at the same time rather sophisticated. No canned mushroom soup - you make a Bechamel, thickened with a roux. I like that description.

    For Wtf as an element, I am thinking the atomic weight may correspond to the number of members we have. The atomic number is harder to choose -- who should we consider "positive"?

    I’ve read that it’s best if it’s blended with some wool. And that if it gets wet, it will still smell like a wet dog!
