Did I say "wacko"? :::skkkkrrritch...eeeeek...POP::: Approximated sound of me attempting to extricate foot from mouth. (Gee, I wish I'd cut my toenails shorter!) HEY. I just reread the post, and wait just one cotton-pickin' minute! <em>I</em> never used the word "wacko." Hmph. Uh, yes, Jen, that would be you! <strong>Wrink</strong> - Showers are one of my real luxuries. So, hmph, no, I'm just not likely to be playing with uncomfortable temperatures. But I do appreciate the point. Jen!

With glaciers disappearing, Oregon might be ALL desert someday. Love the detail of your journey - thanks for sharing it! :) Jen Not sure if *I’m* the wacko friend in Oregon, but even as the wettest state our water comes from a crystal-clear river – fed by glacial runoff.

I turn the temp up so that it's slightly hotter than I prefer. That gets me out of the shower more quickly than if it was exactly the right temp. I suppose I could do slightly colder with the same result... that just feels too masochistic to me. Here’s another shower idea. I turn the temp up so that it’s slightly hotter than I prefer.

I think you'll be amazed at how much water runs down the drain whilst you're soaping away. And if your sink is closer to the door than mine, using it to water plants really <em>is</em> easier! I'm looking forward to turning off at least one of the sprinkler zones in my yard. Yay! Wrink – Well, the former would come before the latter, to be sure.

I never thought about turning off the water while washing my hands... or using it to flush the toilet. I'll start with the former and move toward the latter. Hey Grace –

Great post and cool challenge! I never thought about turning off the water while washing my hands… or using it to flush the toilet. I’ll start with the former and move toward the latter.
