Yes it is beautifull but would you really want to swim in it

Are you kidding? You must visit The Presidio's Baker Beach. The only thing that would hold me back is the temperature of the water and the huge surf, and remember, the coldest winter ever spent was a summer in San Francisco - it's COLD! Baker beach is beautifully serene (and even has a clothes-optional in a portion :p ).

The waters of the SF Bay host events like the swim from Alcatraz and many triathlons. The bay is a windsurfers dream...Baker Beach is good for surfers and bodyboarders too!

All of the sudden the water I've been drinking is starting to taste funny. Yuck! We have a well, but I'm not sure it's any better....

I love the idea of recycling meds. What a great way to reduce costs and help the environment.

What do you think will the idea catch on?
