Hot water

Hot water heater in my guest house bathroom

It took me two weeks to figure out how to operate the hot water heater in my guest house. I guess it’s a sign of my own prejudice, when there was no hot water I just thought, “This is India, you can’t expect hot water every day.” It turns out you (pretty much) can. There is a switch just outside the bathroom that turns on the heater. You flip this 20-30 minutes before you want to shower and you have hot water. It lasts just barely long enough to lather up and rinse, and does not include time for reverie, but it does consistently work. So, yay!

Monkeys!

Photos, missing from your collection!

Just so you know, I haven’t been blogging every single picture I take. Not every photo I take necessarily has universal appeal and I recognize that. Nevertheless, completists can subscribe to my Flickr RSS feed or bookmark http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisandhilleary.

Also too funny (but kind of sad)

Harry Reid, Senate Minority Choker

This counts neither as original political analysis, nor as particularly relevant to what I usually blog about, the this story is too funny not to link to. Harry Reid: a man who does not like to be bribed.

My Nail Clippers

Filed under: India — Chris @ 3:45 pm

Why would the houseboy steal my nail clippers? Is he just trying to fuck with me?
