You never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you.

I did not treat municipal water, first off. When I was going to make tea or hot chocolate, I filtered (via a single coffee filter and a small, food-grade, collapsible plastic funnel) the water for it, and then brought it to a boil. That was the only water I treated by boiling.
My usual way of treating water was to do the identical coffee filter routine, followed by Aqua Mira (a chlorine dioxide source). I figured that removing what hikers call "floaties" (bug parts, silt/sand, leaf fragments, bark, etc.) was useful in making the AM more effective. Plus, this encouraged me to drink more water, always a good thing while hiking, as CF-ed water doesn't result in crunching God-knows-what when you take water breaks.
I'll go for 25 more.

Don't confuse "disinterested" with "uninterested".
DWM's got it right, "disinterested" means someone who is not affiliated and is has no interest, or connection with a contest (for example). Disinterested people are used as impartial judges, juries, trustees, contest administrators, etc.
As for uninterested...we all know what that means... as in "I'm uninterested in being a disinterested referee"
