Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for December 10, 2023

Smart girl.

I did a hot tub in the snow once. Really fun.

My hot water tank barely has enough to fill a tub. Imagine a kiddie pool outside wouldn’t last long either.

She proves a point, yet how with garden hose get warm?

Alex has made an extremely valid point. I could use a hot tub right now. My back is killing me.

I had a car I would wash with hot water in the winter. I would disconnect the washing machine and screw the hose to the hot.

I like Val’s open-mindedness.

In many Nordic countries they have outdoor saunas that are used in the winter time, snow and all.

we do it all the time in Iceland. So nice!. Outdoor pools are open all year round and with the hot tubs too :)

I love the DIY aspect of all this…and it’s wonderful to see Val buy into it!

she is FULLY RIGHT!

And this is why my gas bills, during the winter months, are so high.

The tub or pool is great to be in. It’s the getting out and making one’s way back to the (warm) house that’s the hard part.

What happened to the “Stone Soup Classics” feed? I want my comics delivered daily, dangit!

Brings back memories of making it into the McMurdo Station 300 Club.

I use my outdoor hot tub all winter ( but it IS in a covered area.

As Gocomics no longer runs Jan’s strip in the daily format now, I just go to the Sunday and click on the Random, problem is I don’t get them in order.

My apartment complex has an outdoor hot tub that’s in service year around. I live in Washington state, between Tacoma and Olympia, very close to Puget Sound.
