this was tuesday night. tuesday night was also the night of the killer tornadoes that dusted KY and TN... and they were ALL were all around us that night too. i hardly slept. every time i heard it thunder, i flipped on the tv to see if we were about to get killed by a storm.
so anyway, the shower head was amazing, it was nice to have a shower that actually had water coming out of it (not a low flow showerhead). my SO thick hair would be wet in mere seconds (compared to the 4 minutes it takes in our shower, not to mention the rinse time, etc. for both shampoo and conditioner. i really have THICK THICK hair).
so the next night, we ventured on to ft knox, and stayed at a brand new HIE in radcliff, KY. this place was ok. we had to get a handicap room because they messed up my reservation (for a king). but again, the shower rocked. and they definitely must not be in a drought (because i think i could have filled the tub with a 5 minute shower unlike at home in which water barely trickles out).
so last night, we stayed in newton (?) TN at a holiday inn. it was such a cheese hotel, very old no doubt. had been partially updated, but, eh, i wouldn't really make big efforts to stay there again. they did have the cool HI showerheads too, which poured water.
now unless i am mistaken, TN is in a drought just like NC. right? so, what are they doing there to save water? well, they aren't requiring the hotels to install low flow showerheads.
so to my point. why is raleigh (and durham) proposing all the regular home owner to cut their water usage? seems that if 1 holiday inn, for example, installed low flow showerheads, they'd save TONS of water, much more than if the residents just saved on water.
by the way, if we ever DO get out of this drought and you would like an amazing showerhead, find a kohler multifunction forte' showerhead.
Ugh! I am SO tired of the low-flow. When we were in Savannah (GA is worse of than we are drought-wise) the Four Corner Sheraton we stayed out had one of those killer shower heads. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much that can be done to conserve water, starting with businesses (but depriving pregnant woman of a glass of water is not one of them, right, Shannon?) and, frankly, they just don't seem to be doing much. I'm not really surprised that dumb Durham isn't (look at who our mayer/city council members are) but what about the rest of NC?
Why do you always stay at HI/HIE? I'm curious; I think they take dogs, right? I usually stay at Red Roof Inns for that reason plus they are pretty cheap (but they have absolutely no breakfast in the morning).
Glad you're back!
