Claw Tub on Pedestal
Why is it filled with pillows?
Maybe it makes it more luxurious to bath in.
Only problem is there's no room for the person.
Reminds me of a funny poster from when I was a kid:
Save water. Bath with a friend! ;-)

What's With The Water
I have been remembering from the other day when I was in the pool, but I had a very different experience from usual.
Yes, I was swimming hard and disciplined doing my laps.
But my mind decided to focus on the water.
Just the water...nothing else.
I literally blanked out the world around me...no pool, no exercise, no other people, no current events, no random thoughts.
I just put all my senses unto the water itself.
The cool softness of the water as it glided over my hands and body.
The subtle resistance of the water, yet the buoyancy it provided.
The waves and current as the water flowed around my body moving crisply through it.
The healing purity of the water physically and spiritually.
I imagined the clearest and cleanest water, and how it quenches our thirst and washes everything in the world clean again.
Water, earth, wind and fire...the wisdom and perfection of them and us cannot possibly be random events, but they are testament to the genius of our Creator.
Thank you G-d especially for the water in the time, place, and amount that is for a blessing--and as a series of strong hurricanes continue to roar towards your people, let it be merciful.

Exercise It Dirty
They have grabbed the banister underneath and are doing pullups.
However, the tunnels are really ick!
Often a sheltering place for the unfortunate, homeless, and sick trying to get out with their belongings from the cold or rainy weather.
And the smell of urine is not uncommon even with the CCTV cameras at either end,
Nice to workout and toughen up, but this is more than a share of morning wash up or hand sanitizer can deal with. ;-)

Smokem Peace Pipe
And in the kitchen, I am re-organizing one of the top cabinets.
I reach in the very back, and I feel something all the way in the corner.
I pick it up and pull it out, and it's this really weird looking smelly pipe.
The pipe has a face on it and a blue and red stone above and below it.
My wife says it looks like a peace pipe, although I've never really seen one of those before.
There are no feathers or pictures of Indians on it, just this crazy-face staring up with crooked teeth and a big schnoz.
Did someone actually smoke this thing?
Ick, washed my hands like 3 times.
Left it on the counter to show the rest of the family.
Throw that G-d darn thing out!
Dirty smokem peace pipe with ugly face heading down the garbage chute--wonder if I should've sold it on ebay. ;-)

Do NOT Wash Hands
It's a drinking fountain and says: "Please do not wash your hands. Thank you."
So somebody wrote underneath it "here."
And somebody else crossed that out and wrote "ever."
I guess people are fed up with all the signs reminding them to wash.
Seems like we have a hygiene rebellion on our hands! ;-)

Bathroom Kudos
I wondered what a strange sign to put in such a private setting as if we need applause for going to the bathroom or washing our hands.
Then again, if you've seen many men's bathrooms, it could certainly be a time for kudos when it is kept clean and people use good personal hygiene--hence, the other sticker on the left, "It's cool to care!"
The frog sticker in the middle, he's just keeping an eye on things and thanking everyone for the job well done.
This is a funny commentary on our society these days where people seem to need a pat on the back for everything--even the highly mundane and personal.
Presumably, going to the men's room will never be the same boring, uncaring event again--at least at this fine eating establishment. ;-)

iRobot For Your Windows
A Chinese company, Ecovacs, has developed a robot that cleans your windows--and it looks quite like an iRobot that cleans your floors.
You spray the cleaning pad, attach it to your window, and it senses that boundaries of the window and calculates a path to clean them.
The spray pad wipes them, the squeegee collects dampness, and another wipes it dry.
There are multiple safety features including dual suction rings, a safety pod with a tether, and an alarm if Winbot runs into problems.
The spray pads once used can be removed, washed, and dried for another cleaning run.
I like Winbot as long as it is just cleaning windows and not also looking in the window and listening to what you are doing to gain competitive advantages in a cyberspace that these days, knows few, if any, security bounds. ;-)

Howie Mandel Was Right All Along
If you don't, this little green slime creature is going to come and get you.
It reminded me of the other day heading into the bathroom, and I see this guy coming the other way out of one of the Stalls.
He actually does head to the sink to the wash his hands--he's in the minority in this country, I understand.
Well the sink is one of the automatic ones and has no faucets.
The guy sticks his hands underneath....nothing.
He starts waving his (dirty) hands...and still nothing.
After the third try...he throws his hands up, looks at me, and says, "Now that's awkward" and proceeds to walk out the bathroom holding his hands literally at full arms length.
I hoped that he didn't run into anyone he knows on the way and reached out to shake their hands--because they would've gotten a nasty surprise, indeed.
This sign tells it the way it is--sorry folks. ;-)
