Using a life preserver to avoid drowning if he falls asleep during an afternoon soak in a hot tub in Arcata, CA.
The Idiot has been faithfully going to the Finnish Country Sauna and Tubs in Arcata, CA, since they opened — serving tasty chai and a delicious daily dose of U.S. and international newspapers/magazines — over 30 years ago. This was the first time he felt the need to use a life preserver.
