The 'Ole Showerhead Bait-and-Switch

The shower in our Westin hotel room had two showerheads, which looked interesting, something you'd want to try.  Then I read this sign on the shower wall:

One of your showerheads have been turned off to minimize water usage and to protect one of our most precious natural resources.

So you install two showerheads and then make us feel guilty for using it, but you're not really concerned with our "most precious natural resources," are you?  You are trying to save money and the concern for resources is just an easy front.  

I used both and took a long, hot shower.

Good with Ketchup

I saw a bumper sticker tonight:  Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and good with ketchup.

Dog Feces, Good Morning!

It's a little odd to me, every morning, that one of the first things I experience is my dog doing her duty in the backyard, back in the tree bed.  I can't really ignore it; I have to note where it lands, for if I don't cover the excrement up with leaves, I'll surely step in it some other morning.
