The mixture you described transcended the topic. I can’t wait to mix up a cocktail of my own design. I wonder what a few crushed Camphor tree leaves will do for it?

I Live in Lutz, FL and commute to Tampa. Sweating is part of going outside. But we have showers at work, so what the heck.

And I always take a shower right before leaving he house and pull my hair back as tightly as I can. Then when I arrive, I can take it down and fluff it out…the wet hair also helps cool me off, and because it’s still wet, sweaty helmet head is less of a problem.

I’ve found the handicap bathroom essential. For those of you who have never had the opportunity, it typically contains one toilet, a sink and plenty of room to change clothes. It also affords all the privacy you need.

I’ve also tried showering too, but I find the only time I really needed it is during the high summer.

Simple fact is our current American office culture doesn’t allow for much B.O. Before the auto is when folks got plenty of “exercise” in their daily lives without even thinking about it (if you walk everywhere and don’t have a T.V. you’re more likely to be active). Before the auto is also before modern deodorants and antiperspirants and thus before smelling good affordably. Like the auto, deodorant is now firmly ingrained into our culture (interestingly most European cultures don’t have the same hang-ups that we do with body odor). In my job I simply cannot go around smelling to high heaven and expect to land clients.
