    Scorecard: The third three months.

    I bought the 1/2 gallon jar at Walmart. It's much like the jars orange juice used to come in only heavier glass. It has a fairly wide mouth (large enough for the filter to fit in) with a rubber stopper. It's also made to fit in the door of a refrigerator. And of course, I bought two of them!!

    Hi John, Thanks for the feedback. We all struggle with too much stuff and drawers full of "gazingus pins" (from Joe Dominquez, "Your Money or Your Life") that we never use. Little by little I'm paring mine down and trying not to fill the empty spaces. Sounds like a good topic for the blog "Living with Empty Spaces." What kind of 1/2 gallon glass jar do you use with your Pur filter? That's a great idea. Terrible about the freeze in Florida, for the farmers and everyone. Time for all of us to become home gardeners.
