A hot tub would suit my purposes. I don't have the room for one in my
house, and I don't want to have to go outside for a soak in the middle
of January.


I used to have an athletic membership at my old university and it was
just two miles from where I worked. I used to go in and swim for a half
hour or so and then soak in the very hot jacuzzi. It recharged my
batteries to get me through a shift on a cold night. I later switched
to the YMCA where there was a nice jacuzzi, but it was a half hour drive
from home. Then I switched to the new Y just 3 miles from here. No
Jacuzzi. They have a "swirl pool" only 96F. It's bad enough that it was
nowhere near hot enough, but they let little kids in it. I know what
those guys do in hot water.
