Hockeydino: Truth - Shower The Thought

Truth - Shower The Thought

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. I am guessing that most people probably sing in the shower. I don't since I can't sing. Actually I singe like Mike Buble, but I choose not to. I don't fool myself into thinking that I can sing better in the shower like most of you peasants, so I just don't. I deal in reality, not fantasy. The fact that I want to sing additionally is none of your business of course and another topic for discussion between my, myself, and I.

Today was a day just like any other day. when I took a shower early this morning I wondered how many showers I have taken over the years. I did some estimating, and with the exception of some camping trips and my youth where I took baths...it was about 14,500 times. Give or take 100 or so.

14,500 showers in my life time. Perhaps 5 gallons of water per instance? OK so that's 72,500 gallons of water used. That is basically a 57 foot by 57 foot pond that is 3 feet deep full of water. So calculating I will leave to be just over 100 (don't worry, my brain will be frozen for the future), that will be approximately 153,050 gallons of water I will have used for a shower. Which is about an 83 by 83 area of water that is 3 feet deep.

This is my footprint of water that I use. Should I use more? Should I use less? I mean the water already has been used several times over through out history by people and animals. I'll have to think about it.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

In the big scheme of things, you probably showered in water that Nero took a bath in... or some creepy person that is depicted in People of Wal-Mart photo spreads.
