Rub a dub


I find it ironic that the most dangerous thing I've had to face in Central America is my shower head. This thing is going to kill me some day.

What you’re looking at is my shower with a water heater attachment. Since there aren’t many water heaters here, this seems the best way to get a hot shower. I just wish the wires weren’t so exposed. Last time I checked water and electricity don’t mix too well.

Death by electrocution can’t be too bad can it? Hey, at least I’ll be clean.

  • If you're lucky, the electrocution will realign your nipples.

  • Bram--it was very entertaining but I really envy your ability to escape the world of work by furthering your education. You may have to get in touch with the Guinness Book of Records. I was good at it but you're a master at avoiding WORK FOR PLAY!!! Sandalwood is changing--academies, block scheduling, Latin gone, many new faces. I'm retired after 41 years in education some of it in graduate schools, etc. but most teaching--I loved it and I wish you did--you're a natural. Every other day, I teach the last Latin II class at Sandalwood so they can be prepared for college. Unfortunately retirement has turned out to be a curse--last month I was diagnosed with MSA--Multiple System Atrophy--certain ganglia which control my involuntary systems are shrinking and thereby certain involuntary functions are closing down like urinary and I walk poorly even though it is a voluntary action but its smoothness is mostly involuntary after millions of years of evolution. Probably three to five years to live and not very pleasant living. Bram do it all!! You only go round once. Come and see us whenever you are in or near Jacksonville. I just spent the summer in Slovenia, Tuscania, Catalonia, London and Paris--it was great. We're hoping to spend this comming summer in the American West. You are truly a technological wonder--I've done more with your blog than I've ever done with computers before--I so undigital and computer illiterate--if it weren't for ponography, I probably couldn't do anything. Among the men I've known, you are truly a Prince. Keep up this great work, keep safe (but not too safe, get a little dirty, you only live once!!). God speed.

  • you know what's funny about this? is that i know exactly what this is, because my friend on the island has one of these.

    word of wisdom: don't get over-excited with your herbal essence shampoo in this shower.
