My "Bucket" list

Look at this adorable baby!!! It's takin' a bath in a bucket! I want to take a bath in a bucket! The best part of the picture is that its on a street corner. Cars and motorcycles are driving by, and the baby is just smiling taking it's bath in the murky water. This has always been on my "bucket" list, but I grew too big. Maybe if i found a really big bucket, I can still do it. One of the main reasons the baby is taking a bath where it is is not because it prefers to take baths on street corners. In places such as Indonesia, running water and drainage is almost non-existent. So in order to take a bath, one must go where water is obtainable. Though it may seem pretty awesome to take a bath in a bucket, one should think that it probably isn't the most ideal circumstances for taking a bath. The time this picture was taken was right before the economy took a nose dive in 1997 (Pepinsky). Indonesia has never been a place to have a great standard of living. Considering that running water is rare, the streets are trashed and the area is not very clean. With that, I can assume that the bath water could have been used multiple times. Looking at the water consumption we use, it is ridiculous how many water we use in one shower. Let's remember that we clean water is a blessing. Let's look at it tha way.
