qnt

-Door sign quote: "This bathroom will be cleaneed..." (apparently it has a desperate need to be cleaned)-

I don't remember the dream I had last night. I think it was some sort of adventure... which I guess every dream is in some sense, but actually an interesting adventure, not just a "let me systematically destroy all my social relationships" adventure.

Speaking of bathrooms, that's one of the weirdest things I've noticed about Colorado, as compared to the Great Domesticated Desert of DoomTM is that none of the public restrooms have toilet seat covers! See, here's how it was. When I first got into Denver airport, that was okay, since airports always try to gear their hygiene to the highest level that all the different people coming through would demand, so they had the covers. But then I went to a restaurant in a little tiny city called Golden. I didn't think much of the fact that there were no seat covers; the restaurant as a whole looked somewhat like a converted house, so it wasn't too unusual. True, in GDDoD even the pokiest restaurants have the covers, but I thought maybe I didn't go pokey enough before.

As time went on, however, more and more restrooms lacked the amenity, even in decidedly unpokey areas. It got to the point where my curiosity bugged me so much that I ended up asking a native to the area. And my suspicions were confirmed: most CO restrooms have no toilet seat covers.

Reality check. After I found that out, I gave up constructing covers myself out of toilet paper.

  1. How very odd. I've been in places that have had the toilet covers vandalised (stolen?) but at least they were there to begin with. :)

Try to keep it family-friendly.
Otherwise, poetry, random exclamations, and opinionated diatribe all welcome.
