Showers

Saying for the Day- Its not just being clean its how you get there that's important.

Did I ever tell you I don’t like showers. Well If I did I lied. “I don’t like” is fat too soft an emotion for what I feel for showers. I hate showers. I loath showers. I despise showers. I hate being burned and frozen while I try to adjust the heat of the water which is almost impossible to adjust. I hate being hit by the water. I hate being afraif I’m going to slip and fall. I hate the entire experience. I hate coming out of the hot shower into a cold room. I hate the entire experience.
In the house at Crystal Falls I had a walk in tub. I opened the door, entered, sat down on the special seat, closed the door and filled the tub. When It was full I turned on the jets and added a little bubble bath. It was paradise.
There is a bathtub here, of course. But it is the down on the floor kind. I would have to get down into it and I can’t.
If I did it would take 911 and a derrick to get me out.
So I have to take showers. I put them off as long as I can but I have little choice. After a few days Betty begins to hint that I should take a shower. If that doesn’t work she comes right out and says “ Aren’t you going to take a shower? So I have no choice.
Someday, when I win the lottery I’m going to get another walk in tub.

@@@!@News from Pigeon Falls– the little town in my garage where the trains still run, dragons fly, and basketball is King-They won! That’s right they won. The New Potatoes beat Republic last night. They not only won but they won by ten points. It was a team effort, no stars. Nine of the eleven players saw significant court time. Every one of them scored. It was the first time that they have beaten Republic since the consolidated school was formed. It mad the front page of the Iron Mountain paper and the lead story in WLUC’s sports last night. From the reaction of the town you would think they had won a tournament. It’s all people can talk about. There is some talk that the coach will be named UP coach of the year. At this point nobody is making fun of the name. Isn’t that odd?
Pastor Marvel heard about it in Florida and sent his congratulations to the team. He is having a great time in Florida but is sorry that he missed the game. Mrs. Marvel said to tell Nancy she got that teapot.
Mr. Robinson passed out at the game> At first they thought he had a heart attack. Old Doc Henery had him carried to the back room and gave him some oxygen. It seems he just passed out from the excitement but Doc wants him to go to a specialist in Marquette and get his heart checked out. Winning can be hard on the heart.
There is more than enough snow and so one is seeing a weekend influx of snowmobilers . It’s a wonder they way they are riding through the woods that they haven’t run into the dragon or the White Rabbit. One guy did run into a turkey the other day. Turkeys aren’t very bright. He came back to town covered with turkey blood and feathers. Virginia Welton who is head of the “ Shining Light Snowmobile Club” said there would be no trouble if they stayed on the marked and groomed trails. She was, of course , talking about the snowmobilers not the turkeys. Perhaps its not just the turkeys that aren’t too bright.

Had another rough night last night. Lots of coughing and very little sleep. Got up this morning and posted then went back to bed. During the day I napped amd nloged a little but mostly napped. Pennie who was called out last night to put a potential suicide in the hospital napped most of the afternoon. Betty got some things done here and there. Pennie is out now on another call to the hospital. I am glad I don't have her jon. It is so cold out. We won't leave the Fortress unless we have to. Now I need a breathing treatment.
