Bob,
You are just being plain silly. Why, only last week we took our semi-annual bath. An old European tradition.
Well, ok, it was a voluntary bath. Nobody made you - this is a democracy.
But still, at least once a year we all have to have one...
Seriously, there are still a lot of Europeans who will launch into a passionate discussion of protecting the acid-balance of the skin (Saureschutzmantel der Haut) and how too frequent washing destroys this and blah blah blah.
I think a lot of this is just plain laziness, some of it is based on earlier (much earlier) cleaning agents which were awful base in their reaction. And most of it on a desire to just plain be individuals. Individuality is not encouraged in the US, it is over here.
(ducks and runs)
I recall very old windmills powering generators built back in the days before rural electrification. No, I am not THAT old, but a lot of those were still around in my childhood. Wonder how well they worked?
Wind is something we have in northern Colorado, southern Wyoming...
