One of the few things that's even better than a nice, hot shower is a nice, hot shower after the water in your apartment complex has been turned off for the previous 36 hours. I know because I just took such a shower.
At one point during our water-free weekend, I described the situation as "possibly the worst thing in the history of the world." Was that exaggerating? Well, maybe. In any case, I don't think I was too smelly by the end of the ordeal, but I did notice Sampson the Wondercat turn up his nose as he walked by me this morning.*
Anyway, if this ever happens to you and you live near LAX, it turns out the bathrooms at the Bristol Farms grocery store in Playa Del Rey are pretty nice.

great comedic effect indeed.
since you always talk about how AWESOME the beach is & how WARM the weather is, why didn't you just jump in the damn ocean & bring a bar of soap?! (and shampoo & your hair products, too, obviously!) seriously, dude.
hardships, man. hardships.
So let me get this straight......you took a shower at the grocery store??
B - Good idea about the ocean. Except that the water is cold in February and it's probably not particularly clean here. But maybe I'll do it anyway next time.
HPA - Welcome back. Almost - I used the sink the best I could to wash my hair. :)
