It has been
a while since I posted –lot of summer maintenance projects to complete. Here in western Maine winter and snow always
looms just beyond the horizon – a time to be done with chores… except digging
out from snow storms.
I have jacked
and leveled my back shed, put away my firewood (still some to split,) leveled
my oil tank, re-plumbed under the sink, am painting our mudroom, having our driveway
resurfaced with stone dust, need to build new steps to the oil tank… and of
course never ending mowing the lawn…
I can’t complain
as the weather has been great. Most days
in the seventies and nights dropping into the sixties: this past week, however,
we have had temps reaching into the eighties.
Anyway,
Filthy Mc Nasty: It has dawned on me
after all these years that men’s shoes should be classified as toxic
material. Not that the inside may or
may not stink (depending on the foot sweat of the individual,) but where those
shoes have been.
Now that I
am older I mark my turf from bathroom to bathroom. When I go shopping I pee at every spot along
the way. Men’s public bathrooms are
sometimes cleaner than women’s – I am told; but there is always a coating of
pee under the men’s urinals and you have to stand in it to take a leak. Either we all think we are longer than we
actually are or more likely the last squirt or few drops don’t make it inside
the porcelain catch. Anyway, every time
we use a public urinal we are tracking through someone else’s piss – not to
mention all the other crap on the sidewalks and grounds.
Kinda gives
you a new perspective on your shoes doesn’t it?
