Like, in a vaguely classy way compared to bottom-tier takeaway pizza and some six-packs of beers. The classy dining not being <i>in</i>compatible with hot tubbing sans swimsuit, of course, if you want to party like the <i>American</i> <i>West Coast</i> upper class.</p></blockquote>\n<p>and there&rsquo;ll be racks for clothing and a bin of towels and as long as we&rsquo;re running water out back for the tub anyway a shower head, like at the beach, only it&rsquo;ll spray onto dirt under where I&rsquo;ve dug a pit lined with plastic and filled with rocks with spokes going off to get water to the areas that get hella dry in summer</p><p>And there&rsquo;ll be a water fountain with attached foot tap and bowl for dogs, and it&rsquo;ll be dual purpose good for both entertaining or for use when working outside in the heat.</p>"}
