Hot water and boondocking

[Gregory OConnor]

Bill, Lucas and Linda have all the cool stuff. The little green toad
was the best.

Years back California had a water shortage and one method we used to
save the resource and get the hotwater to the shower was to simply
brush your teeth with the cold water that comes out of the hot tap at
the sink prior to hitting the shower (won't work if you clean them in
a cup). Chillipepper is cool and I can see where it is a must have on
a Yacht like the Willemese have.
