ooooo....I like that idea! You'd probably never get truly HOT water out of
the deal, but I bet you could get that thermal mass in the fridge pretty
cold and end up with a tank of decently warm water-- at least as warm as
those stupid sun showers seem to get. I wonder how much all this stuff
weighs though. Probably not much more than a couple blocks of ice, which is
my current refrigeration technique.
