THE PIER and THE BRUSH

THE BRUSH
Meditations on living with a finite resource
    The bath brush is getting "more playing time," as they say in the game.  
     Serious attempts at water conservation have given me the opportunity to notice how the time with the shower off increases, proportionately, the time when the brush gets to work.  No doubt this is something like the principle of Inverse Void Action-the emptiness of something, in this case water, is filled with the presence of something else, the use of the brush.
      The soak, lather and scrub practice, done between quick douses from the shower, is a pleasant way to conserve by shortening showers. And as you might expect, it also enhances the pleasure of the water spray when it is on.
THE PIER




    The Pier and cove at San Simeon are a jewel of the Central Coast. Human intrusion is at a minimum. 
     See you down the trail.

  1. Looks like a great pier. When I was a kid we fished from the Cement Boat at Seacliff Beach near Santa Cruz. That old ship provided shelter for some interesting fish.

  2. When I lived through a drought crisis in New York City around 1965, I recall signs in the subway cars (you know that narrow curve between wall and roof) that said: "Conserve water. Shower with a friend."
