Roadtrip Droppings

We went roading and tripping. A common fact is that there are no toilets in cars, but there are toilets in various forms all across the state. As noted before the outhouse is a very interesting structure that can be found in most places, thus save a poor bottom from the itchings of raw leaves. The town of Girdwood, a place were we went tripping, has a rule about outhouses which says that you simply can’t have them anymore. Unless you were grandfathered in, which means something of the like that your grandfather set up an outhouse once upon a time that for some miraculous reason is still standing. Not really, but it sounds nice. Anyway, as it were, we stayed in a yurt, which had no outhouse nor plumbing, as a yurt is a fancy tent of sorts. But fear not, bum, there’s a new invention in town. The incinerating toilet. Which will reduce your excrement to a teaspoon of ash. By way of heat. Our host described it as a similar process to cooking your droppings in a pan on the stove. Which makes me wonder how they came up with all this in the first place.
