I guess that I'm really cheap, so the idea of keeping hundreds of gallons
of water piping hot 24/7 bothers me. I do not know if I could enjoy the
occasional dip in the hot tub while imagining the dial on the electric meter
whirling away. We have some neighbors a few door up the street who have a
large hot tub on their deck. Apparently they entertain in the tub quite
often. The street is lined with cars on the weekend. One day they stopped
to talk while I was outside doing some yard work. I gave them my
condolences about their unfortunate circumstances of buying a house next to
a viscous gossip. They laughed and said that they hoped that she wasn't too
upset about the fact that they used the hot tub naked.
