Observations on the variance of water temperatures

Posted byJamie Todd Rubin

When the hot/cold knob in the shower is "off" it points to 6 o’clock.  To turn it on, one twists it counterclockwise.

Observation:  at 6:40 AM to obtain my preferred level of hotness, I have to twist the knob to 9 o’clock.

Observation:  at 7:50 PM to obtain same hotness, I have to twist the knob to 11 o’clock.

Please note:  this carefully crafted entry has three purposes:

  1. To provide observations about the varying water temperature in my shower.
  2. To provide kruppenheimer  with the kind of trivia she has come to expect from this blog.
  3. To provide strausmouse  with four sentences that he will purposely misinterpret.
