Every walk reminds me that Labs just wanna have fun. Goldens? If there’s a fire, they’ll run into it to save everyone: humans, cats, even the goldfish. Labs grab the hot dogs and head to the “campfire” with a grin.

Ultra low-flow faucets don't save water. They relocate it. High pressure spray soaks the counter and your pants. Soap needs water volume to rinse. Fluid dynamics doesn't care about "doing the right thing." People need to run them twice as long. Wiping up that spray for the next
