The Long Flush Goodbye
The back of our apartment complex looks out to a parking lot and the back of another small 6-pack of apartments. There's also a small workshed belonging to that small 6-pack. This morning when I took Shady out for her morning walk, much to my surprise I discovered anywhere between five to six abandoned toilets, complete with bowl and tank.
Where did they come from so suddenly? Had I unwittingly stumbled across some secret toilet burial grounds, a sacred gravesite where all toilets seem to instinctively know where (pardon the phrasing) to go when they're about to die?
Or were these toilets migratory and had just returned from the south? For that matter, did National Geographic do a special on migrating toilets and I missed out? And if so, does anyone have a copy I could watch?
In other news, Mel discovered that her much loved game "Age of Empires II" can in fact be played on Windows ME. She subsequently stayed up to about 7am this morning playing the game. I only know this because I awoke to sunlight pouring through the living room window and the sound of a mouse being vigorously clicked. Afterwards I retired to the bedroom and went back to sleep. In any case, Mel is asleep now and will no doubt be rather groggy and/or grumpy when I have to rouse her in about a half hour.
Today's Lesson: nothing screams evil like an April Fool's prank involving your girlfriend or wife smiling and telling you she's pregnant.
