The Bobble: one of the best inventions I think I’ve ever seen. It’s a water bottle that filters out chlorine, copper, zinc, and other various metals that you find in tap water and water fountains. It will not filter out harmful microbes of course. But it will filter out anything a Brita filter would and you just fill it and drink right from it. It’s good for as many as 300 refills and it only costs $9 and it’s only $6 for a new filter. The reason I think this is so great is because it takes about 1.85 gallons of water just to MAKE your standard 16oz water bottle. That water is then contaminated and can’t be used. And drinking tap water or water fountain water means ingesting metals and chemicals. This solves both of those problems and the water tastes just like spring water from a water bottle. #invent #invention #inventing #eco #ecofriendly #iphoneonly #4s #love #science #bobble #water #bottle #waterbottle #environment #green #bw #blackandwhite #snow

An excerpt from one of my favorite stories, “Once More To The Lake” by E.B. White | “When the others went swimming my son said he was going in too. He pulled his dripping trunks from the line where they had hung all through the shower, and wrung them out. Languidly, and with no thought of going in, I watched him, his hard little body, skinny and bare, saw him wince slightly as he pulled up around his vitals the small, soggy, icy garment. As he buckled the swollen belt suddenly my groin felt the chill of death.” #summer #ebwhite #oncemoretothelake #lake #lakewallenpaupack #pennsylvania #iphoneonly #4s #story #sunset #glisten #water #boat (Taken with Instagram at Lake Wallenpaupack, Tafton, PA)
