Post# 5: Humidity or "How to take a shower *while* walking to work"

Nice to have you back........it's been a few days............

Thursday night......which is the day after Wednesday and the day before Friday. I am not totally sure how the word "Thursday" came about but scholars debate that it was named after the famous Triple Crown Winner "Happy Thursday" (who won the late daily double at Scarborough Downs on 7 July 1973). Other Scholars unequivocally believe that "Thursday" was a developed by a group of aliens dressed as a wild pack of German Shepards in which their guttural bark sounded something like "arrgr-Thursday-aggrar". You decide....

This entry is going to utilise some basic math....But, don't fret, if you know how to get the answer to 1+1 you will do just fine.

Fact#1: 80% of your bodies heat escapes from your head. I learned that skiing at Sunday River.....no hat means cold toes....Now, those of you that know me know I have a full head of luxurious hair. Thick as the Atlantic Ocean and strong as an Aroostook County lumberjacks' grip. Heat stays in me.

Fact#2: I walk 15 minutes to work down the longest semi-enclosed escalator in the world and through the heart of Central Hong Kong.....Steamy streets.....Cats and Dogs are a bit wobbly.

Fact#3: Humidity abounds. Humidity is the amount of water in the air. In Hong Kong let's say we have our fair share of water in our air.

So hear comes the math:

A=My_Thick_Hair
B=Walk_to_work
C=Humidity

A+B+C = Dave takes a shower on the way to work. Even when I don't want to.....

If the humidity keeps getting worse I am going to have to pack a bar of Irish Spring and my Redken shampoo and use them on the way to work.

But, I have a partial solution. It has to do with variable B (the walk_to_work). Question: When you are in a swimming pool and the water is up to the middle of your thighs what does it feel like to make your way through the water? Answer: Slow and smooth. And that, my friends, is how I have minimized the current affects of the Humidity. I walk like I am in a swimming pool. And it works!

So in closing, I wish you air with low water content and a glass full of beer.

Sleep good......
