Did you know that in some badger communities showering together by the
rain is a premier social activity, much like sauna in Baltic and
Scandinavian countries? Me neither, until rain started pouring heavily
while I was visiting some badger friends. It's mostly a spring/summer
thing but they say that doing it in the cold months is great too and
forms especially strong bonds among the peers. Feet are washed briefly
before reentering home for obvious reasons. They also say that outdoor
shower facilities (which most badger country homes have) can do for the
social part, but it's not quite the same thing as the traditional rain
showers, even though you have to wait for the right weather for these.
