I drink from public drinking fountains just about daily, but I do usually let them run a bit first. And I've been pestering our parks department weekly to fix the fountain by our only public running track-- it keeps getting vandalized. Argggghhh.... It also gets to me that the doggie drinking fountains at the dog parks are left on year-round, but the ones for humans will be turned off for the winter soon.

I'm planning on starting this fall's first batch of sauerkraut this afternoon, hooray! There's usually something fermenting in my kitchen; I'm awed at the power of microorganisms to do wonderful things to food.
