Happy World Toilet Day

Today is World Toilet Day. Although it may sound silly, the goal is to raise awareness of the couple of billion and some people in the world who don't have access to sanitary toilets and the disease that can be spread by bad sanitation.

So what is the appropriate celebration for World Toilet Day...participating in the Big Squat: a movement for the toilet-less of course (they do have a sense of humor about it). The Big Squat seems to be urging groups of people to squat down as if they are, well, you know, to draw attention to themselves and then hand out literature on sanitation.

I have always thought we should experience toilets of the world and what better place to do that than at Disney's Epcot World showcase. I want to see them theme the restrooms there as well. When you are in Mexico, you get a Mexican toilet. In Japan, the hi-tech Japanese toilet etc. I have written Disney several letters on the subject but have not seen one international toilet at Epcot.

So Happy World Toilet Day to all!

Hale: Next time your grocery shopping. Ask the clerk when your buying toilet paper, If they think you bought enough for the amount of food you also bought?

A friend traveled to India many years ago and he told of how every morning people went out from the city into the fields to squat.

We are so spoiled.

You don't appreciate it until it breaks. My dad was not the swiftest plumber. I've gone a couple days without one in my lifetime. It is the worst!
