We've had very uncertain water pressure the past few days. Yesterday it managed to shut off completely about the time the Capt was working on the Vanagon motor and getting very greasy. But today (so far) it's flowing normally and I'm washing everything in sight: clothes, dishes, floors, tile, etc. etc. and feeling very grateful that for now we have good clean water. I have a sense of urgency about the cleaning, since the water could go back down to a disappointing trickle at any moment, but I've decided the urgency is a good thing, since otherwise I would probably be derailed by the book I just started: "Eat, Pray, Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert. Fascinating and funny, and the subject of a future post.
Speaking of water, and at the risk of seeming excessively frivolous, I couldn't resist sharing these how-tos I found this morning on Wiki-How, for dog owners who live near good surfing spots:
"How to Choose a Surfboard for Your Dog"…
…and on VideoJug, "How to Teach Your Dog to Surf"
So far I have persuaded both my dogs to ride my kayak (not at the same time), but before they'll be willing to go surfing, I guess I'll have to learn myself. Meanwhile, there's always a Net to surf, in air-conditioned comfort.
P.S. VideoJug has quite a wide and wild variety of tutorial vids, from "How to Enforce a Court Order" to "How to Get Out of a Car Without Showing Your Knickers."
