Josh and Deborah's new baby has arrived. It's name is Wyatt Nelson Hensley. Congrats! Here is a photo. On a related front, word on the streets is that my newly remarried X-wife Sarah is now pregnant. On to more important issues, Showers. Here in India they don't use water heaters as we know them back home. We use Geysers. Which is about thirteen gallons of heated water. This results in a roughly 5 minute shower, not quite as satisfying. In addition, it is not always on, there is a light switch you turn on and then wait about 20-30 minutes for the water to be heated, so no jumping right outta bed and into the shower. Here's a photo of a geyser, and Wyatt.

I'm going to pretend that you meant to say "His name is Wyatt..." and not "It's name is Wyatt..."

=)

Also, when have you even been known to take a shower that is longer than five minutes? Are you implying that you actually really bathe with soap now??? ;)

That shower situation sucks. Guess you could turn it on and eat breakfast then shower, but that is far too much planning.

On a note related to bathroom fixtures...
If you were to poo, would you:
a) use toilet paper
b) use your left hand
c) use a badet (sp?)/ something that cleans via water up the shoot
d) you have acquired far too many parasites for your body to actually have any excess waste material.

If I know i'm gonna need to shower right away I turn it on before i go to bed, but apparently that is not very good electricity wise, so i keep that to a minimum. Yes, Rachel I do shower with soap. The air here covers me in dirt every 5 minutes, so skipping a shower is really miserable. Yeah Z, I use toilet paper, personally, though there are badet-like hoses I could use. but I choose not to. The parasites just make me poo more.
