Do you know someone who thrives off of DRAMA? Someone who thinks the world revolves around them and no one else?

I had heard about the wells, where people take their water bottles (I'm talking the BIG kind) and fill them up on a regular basis. But I had never actually been there. And to think it is absolutely FREE?!? I had to see for myself... Sure enough, when I pulled into the lot at the Doster Road Artesian Well House I was not alone.
