Covered in Raccoons? Crazy!

I used to think that the "evil" of letting a little gray water out
(biodegradable soap in my case) was the effect it had on the soil, water
table etc. Now I realize it tends to leave trace smells of bacon etc. That
being more the "evil" IMO.

Yes. Bacon is great.    :)

Try as I might to abstain, I still fry up bacon once in a while in my Westy.
BLT's are a good thing. And Acon, beggs and possibly pancakes in the
morning, are killing. Still. I try to limit that kind of thing.

Neil.
