A change in leadership can be a great thing. The US elected a new president and suddenly the sun is a bit brighter and birds are singing a bit louder and cleaer. In fact, last night standing outside the Hard Rock Cafe in Houston waiting for a cab the number and diversity of birdsin the trees was staggering. The songs were loud and clear and exciting. The night was cooling down from the rather pleasant day time temperatures and all was right with thw world.
At some point the cab returned to pick me up as promised and I realized the birds were there for so many reaosn including the car hoods, windshields and roofs.
And I thought why use the cars when portapotties are free.
Sitting in a local Starbucks you get the feeling the country has lost its way. The nerdowell skate boarder enters and wewars his trusty, outlandish, useless lime green sneakers. Wife beater t-shirt and ball cap so off center your own point of reference is lost. He drops the board to the floor of the shope with a crash so as to give some start to those who are lost in their insanely expensive brew. Oh well, at least he has a purpose in life. Consume oxygen and the other previous resources the rest of us are vying for. It is after all his universe and he is the center of it.
In the meantime a parade of pet groomers come in to spenmd their last two hours of wages and tips on a vente cold drink with enough calories to keep them until morning. But everyone is grinning and saying thank you because the behemouth that is Starbucks is now using a new gimmick to get people to come back. A $2 off coupon that must be used within a time frame that can only be calculated with an abacuss and slide rule. Sometime before 2 PM but not after 2 PM if the drink was purchased prior to the death of Lincoln at the CFord Theater.
And now two of the more upstanding deizens of Albuquerque are taking advantage of the shade at Starbucks while they consume their faux health drinks from Kiva juice. My word we are lost.
And me? I am sitting wasting electricity nursing my own overly expensive coffee drink when porta potties free.
This blog was conceived only recently as we sat around a small table in a nice bar in Las Vegas, Nevada. We were discussing any of a wide range of topics as one might do when sitting in a bar with a great martini or fine glass of merlot.
Acquaintances and former employees served as the inspiration.
One in particular was prone to availing themselves of a row of porta-potties to conduct some extra-curricular activities. Rather than wait of even take a few moments to travel to more respectable locations this person would retire to a local vacant porta-pottie. How special.
So really, why take a few extra moments for a clean location or even wait until after the word day is done to conduct certain activities……… when porta-potties are free.
How often do you think of something off the wall? So odd hat you think there is no place to write it down and save it?
Well this is it. It is an open blog. A few rules first. Nothing vulgar or obscene. Otherwise you are banned.
The bottom line is this. You must finish the writing with the phrase: ….. when porta potties are free.
Some examples will follow soon.
