I just discovered your blog a short time ago, and it is so awesome! Through some convoluted brain channels, I've recently been very interested in what it's like to live on a train, particularly a circus train. There are some tidbits here and there online, but your blog is the only place I've found so far that discusses all sorts of everyday aspects, like what the inside of the living quarter cars actually look like and that the sink gets noisy on train runs.
There are still some things I'm very curious about, and I hope it's not too intrusive to ask. If it is, go ahead and ignore my ramblings, or if they've already been mentioned in a post I haven't read (though if you could then point me to that post, I'd appreciate it).
How do you handle closet space? From my eyeballed calculations from your pictures, your room has about a 2'x2' closet, right? You go to some super hot places during the summer and freezing cold places during the winter, so how do you juggle a summer and winter wardrobe with the space you have?
Also, you have a lot of limitations on kitchen appliances, but you always have things like fish and cooked foods. Do you cook that stuff on train stops outside your room, borrow stove/oven use from friends on the train who have one, or something else?
