Well water, and other matters of grave concern

I've noticed there's something good in the water here at the cabin in Wyoming – well water by the way – that shrinks bad little things, like warts and moles, back into their nothingness.

I stare deep into the well-pit, which is sunk, if I'm not mistaken, some 60 feet below the surface of the earth, to see if I can determine what is creating the magic quality my Wyoming well water seems to possess, but test results have yet to come back from the lab.

Keeping a copy, as I do, of Nietzsche's, Thus Spake Zarathustra by my bed in the cabin, I read a little each morning to assure myself I'm still a charter member of the conquering race.

Zarathustra, as you may remember, abandoned his home for the mountains when he turned 30.

Up the road in Yellowstone National Park, geophysicists announced yesterday that the magma expanse under the Yellowstone super volcano is much larger than once thought, a boiling heat source of molten rock, reaching 440 to 1800 miles beneath earth's surface, with enough hot rock to fill the Grand Canyon nearly 14 times over.

And if it ever blows it's all over.
