Camping


My daughter and I went camping this past weekend. It was a good trip. We saw some alligators, take a walk along a nature trail, and roasted marshmallows. Of all the things we did this weekend, this was one of the items that fascinated me the most. Just how much poop is stored in that tank and how often to they empty that thing? Who the hell would take that job?

"You see that 500 pound tank of shit over there? That's what you gotta empty by the end of the day."

I was afraid to get close to the thing. I could only imagine what the smell would be like when using it. Of all the things this weekend, THIS is what caught my attention. How messed up am I?

Maybe we should practice what we write?

I was scanning through Amazon looking through the books, when I came across this entry.

"I intended to read only a brief section (one concept) at a time--each takes no mote than fifteen minutes-- but couldn't keep away for long, and finished the book in a day."

Could this be real? The instantly paranoid and cynic in me thought that they may be planting comments in their products. Then again, it could just be one of those ironic situations in life. Either way, it brightened my day.
