Okay, that's got to sound strange, but I live in a very strange building. One of the oddest things is that there has been *no* cold-running water for over a year. That's right, only hot and very hot, which is great from a showering perspective, except for very early in the morning (between 5 and 6) when it's just above lukewarm and just above lukewarm. Terrible showering water.

Anyhow, I turned on my faucet this morning and cold water came out, and it stayed cold. It was actually a weird thrill to be able to control the temperature by choosing more or less hot or cold water. The bathroom sinks at Yahoo! have IR sensors and no temperature control, so I haven't had any daily temperature control in just about forever.

The most disquieting thing was going to the toilet right after someone else and finding not just the seat warm, but *steam* rising from the bowl, buffeting ones unmentionables.

It's a brave new world of cold water. Ahh...
