Ring of Fire
This brings new meaning to the oft-uttered “Light a match!”
Just go look. Seriously, I have nothing more to say.

“And won’t hurt your bottom line!”
Genius.

in all seriousness, this is a *hot* topic in my family right now.
our long-time family cottage on an island in NY state long-exceeded its septic tank system that my grandgrandparents put inin 1965. and so a few years back, my uncle put in a compost toilet. i was SO PROUD. compost! that’s SOOOOO west coast for an east coast boy. oh how i glowed.
when it wasn’t my problem, that is.
then, a year and a half ago, my uncle died, and i inherited his shit. literally. i was the only person brave and patient enough to deal with the compost toilet, which — guess what — had shorted out and become infested with, well, um, “wriggly critters.” it wasn’t pretty. we don’t get garbage pick up there. and there sure wasn’t a way to “bury” the problem either.
so, i donned some gloves (and a mask) and set to work, determined to fix things — but i am not an electrician, nor am i a plumber. 2 things very crucial to the job right.
but in my mucking around i did learn that the toilet — while an awesome and responsible concept — couldn’t take my family’s shit. there’s just too much of us. we need a bigger unit.
so for 2 summers now, i’ve been the queen of crap — and my mom has been arguing all along that we need an electric incinerating toilet. and i have argued against it ( i really want the compost toilet to work, and really want my uncles’ idea to be successful. but it’s not hapenning.)
just earlier this evening i wrote my dad about this very thing. and then i read this post.
so, it’s a sign: my family, who gives a shit, should finally just burn one down.
I’ll be sending my dad this web link.
thanks, Girl, for knowing your shit!

Only problem. In Hawaii, they can’t use the toilets right now, ’cause no electrcity. Toilets in the airports are electric flushers. Just make sure you have a generator for your incinerator!
