Today, I'm Thankful For Soap

Especially the kind of soap that has pumice in it and is made for mechanics, gardeners, and other people who get their hands dirty everyday.

For one of my classes, we're converting a lawnmower to an electric drive for the local park district. We got the motors in a few days ago, and today we drilled some holes into the frame of the lawnmower chassis so we can mount the motors. A couple of hours later, my hands were really dirty. Luckily, I was able to use soap to wash all the grease, rust, and steel shavings from my hands. Later that night, I was thankful that I wasn't ingesting bits of lawnmower with my pizza.
