Brian, aka Bushboy, posted his monthly Last on the Card prompt, where he asks us to…

• Post the last photo from your camera’s SD card or the last photo from your phone taken in the month of September.
• No editing — who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like, or the subject matter didn’t cooperate?
• No explanations needed — just the photo will do.
• Create a pingback to Brian’s post or link in the comments.
• Use the tags “The Last Photo” and #LastOnTheCard.”

This is probably the strangest last on the card photo I’ve published to date. I was getting ready to take a shower yesterday morning and, for some reason I thought about what my last picture for September would be. I looked at what I call my soap tray in the shower and, for some crazy reason, I thought that might make a fascinating photo.

Since I busted my hip and broke my arm last January, taking a shower has become a more time-consuming ordeal than it used to be. My shower products used to be just shampoo and bar soap. But after I did my falling off a ladder thing, I found I couldn’t just use bar soap, so I had to start using a loofa on a long handle in order to be able to reach and soap up my entire body.

I’d never used a loofa before, and that’s been an experience. Now I wash my hair with shampoo, my face with bar soap, and the rest of my body with liquid body soap and a loofa on a stick. And yes, my shampoo and body soap are specifically labeled as men’s products. Please don’t ask me why. That’s a story for another time and place.
