I had a strange thought tonight.
My state in life is so breathtakingly fortunate that I can afford to once a week take forty gallons of perfectly good drinking water, expend fuel to heat it, adulter it so as to be undrinkable, and then simply pour it down the goddamn drain -- all for my own pleasure.
That's called "taking a shower".
Gratitude crops up in odd places sometimes...

" !LOOK! MCDONALDS! They have AC! and RUNNING WATER! and ELECTRICITY! "
So VERY glad I live in a time/place where - the fact that I am listening to music and sitting with heat and power and intarwebs can come to pass.
it's SO very good.
