So--do you have a waterproof notebook where you write these down?

That's one of the bugs/features of retired. Your mind gets to wander to places you would have never thought to go. Is that all from one shower or is it cumulative. I don't think I ever get more than two subjects covered in a shower.

I write significant sections of my book reviews in the shower. Which explains the water stains on the floor in front of my computer. (I don't have a waterproof notebook--just a short-term memory that gets shorter every year.)

I am half-way through season three of "The Game of Thrones". My shower thoughts are very different.

Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow.
Tomorrow never comes.

My only shower thought in Kuwait is, "DAMN! This water's HOT!"
Our water comes from big tanks on the building's roof. They are unshaded and with solar heating on days where it usually gets up to 115 or higher, the water is scalding. In fact, there are only a couple of months a year that we get even tepid water out of the tap. No cold.
Makes brushing your teeth interesting.

If you are asking for thoughts about showers, I am in favor of them.

I was just reading about prison gangs, and one of the guards was quoted as saying you tell what kind of cell phone a prisoner has by the shape of the soap bar he has whittled to keep its storage orifice lubed and supple.
(The new Samsung 8 will not be a popular phone in prison.)

Our hands have finger tips, but toes don't have toe tips.
But we can tiptoe.
"Are you as bored as I am" can be read backwards and still make sense.
"Don't touch" is probably unnerving to read in braille.

Depending on how you look at it you either have ten fingers & ten toes -or- eight fingers, two thumbs and ten toes -or- none of any of 'em, but that probably means you're showering with the lights off and that's really dangerous and I think you should just stop.
