Question of the Day - Tuesday, April 8th, 2025

Yes, for various reasons. Sometimes it's hot out and I'm cooling off, sometimes I suspect I got into poison ivy so I wash in cold water, and when we first moved here I did it to try and prepare for experiencing cold winters.

The worst, though, is when I had to work all the lab rooms in one building where the water heater had gone out. Practically every room was under quarantine for one reason or another, and I had to shower between each room and before exiting the building. I was taking at least 8 showers on a good day, and on really bad days I was taking upwards of 20. It took over a year for the water heater in that building to get fixed.
 
Sometimes, at the end of a nice hot shower. I had friends that owned a sauna house in Montana in the 70's. It was built on the banks of the Skalkaho River. In winter, the river would freeze over but they would keep a hole chopped in the ice at the bottom of some concrete steps leading down into the water. It was so refreshing to come out of the sauna, go down the steps into the water, scrunch down into it (it wasn't deep), then run back up and into the nice hot sauna! A cold shower pales by comparison, it's not nearly cold enough.

Yikes, It's hard enough getting out of the hot shower in our house! I can't imagine this. Neat experience.
