One consequence of aging is that one gets up in the middle of the night more often.\u00a0 I hate it when my butt hits that cold seat in the night.\u00a0 So it\u2019s 3AM in the middle of my first nite in Tokyo, and I gotta go.\u00a0 I stumble into the hotel bathroom and\u2026 OH.\u00a0 MY.\u00a0 GOD!\u00a0 This toilet seat is warm!\u00a0 Like\u2026body temperature warm!
\nI have seen the high-tech Japanese toilets on television, but seeing is not the same as experiencing.\u00a0 This is incredible.
\nThe next morning, I examine the toilet with a bit more interest.\u00a0 Not only is the seat heated, but it senses when an occupant sits down, and an internal fan immediately comes on to suck offending odors out of the air.\u00a0 Hmm.
\nNext, I examine the control panel.\u00a0 More accurately, I play with the 4\u201d x 9\u201d portable remote-control wireless console.\u00a0 With it I can adjust the temperature of the seat; the temperature, strength, and direction of the water spray; and turn the dryer on and off.
