    The $12 showers

    A second trick I used often was if I knew I was not gonna run over the weekend, I'd get a Camp site at some local state park... Usually 10 to 12 bucks a nite, take as many showers as you like, sit by the campfire. More often than not somebody would invite me to dinner... There are some...
