You'd move into a motel because of a four day power outage if you didn't

Why?


For starters, my wife wears suits and other professional outfits to work

day. Then there is the matter of having water to flush the toilet. Then
there is the matter when it is too hot outside. And so forth.

Wuss.

I’m sure with the bozos you encounter in your daily rounds, it doesn’t
matter if you stink.



You and your wife stink if you miss a daily bath? Gross.




We were discussing a four day outage, remember? Duh.



You're a progressive liberal who believes in science, correct?
Here's some science for you:

http://www.businessinsider.com/how-often-should-you-shower-science-2017-1

Funny. My dermatologist, the first time I saw him a few years back, asked how often I showered.
"Almost every day," I said. He said cut back to about every three days. All that showering was bad
for the skin. Works for me, unless I've been walking a golf course that day.



I am the same way. When I was working I showered every morning and
sometimes again in the evening. Now that I am retired I'll shower in
the evening if I've been physically active with some project during the
day. Otherwise, I am on a every other morning shower routine. Nobody
has complained that I stink. :-)

I think that's pushing it. Done that when underway on a ship. When we
returned to port we were all a little ripe.

We had salt water showers on the ships I was on. You could take a
"hollywood" shower in salt water, then just a spritz in fresh to get
the salt off. We were under water restrictions but I never heard that
we were in danger of running out.

Our salt water showers (or baths) were an occasional swim call on Sunday
afternoons. Gunner's Mates would man the sides with rifles watching for
sharks.

Water hours were the norm. Even the water bubblers were turned on for
short periods of time. I guess the Navy figured you got all the water
you needed in coffee and bug juice.

The Navigator was pretty good as far as showers went. IIRC, it had a
100 gallon fresh water tank ... might have been 200 gal. Two heads and
two shower stalls. Never ran out of water but then again I'd fill up
the tank anytime we pulled into a marina.

I have always been a shower a day guy (before I go to bed) and if I am
working outside I shower out there, maybe several times a day. (no
soap tho)
It is mostly just to keep the dirt out of the pool. I am in the pool a
lot and Deuce is in there several times a day too. When we had the AC
off, he just stayed wet because he could just walk out there and jump
in. He seems ****ed that we have the doors closed now.
