Just how often does one need a full shower or bath ?

8. I live in Texas without A.C. Any questions? Thanks & goodnight...

Seriously, by June, the tap water is not very cold, and needs only a shot of hot to make a luke warm bath. From there, it gets cool, which is great when temps push a hundred by noon. I don't use much water, wash my underwear & tees & soak blue jeans in the soapy water. I bathe every other day. My water use is under 900 gals/mo., which will go lower as Austin raises rates/fees because the utility is losing $ due to -- voila! -- conservation. But the sink and a wash cloth work well for sprucing up.

Ha! Key West shower. I remember 50 yrs ago when our family traveled that old Highway to the Sea (Flagler's converted rail bridges), and noted a single pipe running under the edifice: KW's mainland water supply. Back up was the U.S. Navy's desalinization plant (sub base). Explains the quickie shower.
