Bo had a vet appointment this morning (no fun for either party) so I decided I might as well take the whole day off and hit the lake with the kayak again. One of my favorite landmarks on the river is the S.S. Relief, but I've never actually stopped there. The S.S. Relief is a floating Port-O-John. I was pretty sure that the S.S. Relief wasn't just a hole leading to the river, but I had no first-hand knowledge. In the interest of science, and because I'd had several large glasses of water for lunch, I tied the kayak off and boarded the S.S. Relief. After a quick investigation (it is a floating crapper with limited ventilation and Sacramento hit 104 today), I can say that I'm 51.9% certain that the waste doesn't actually hit the water. Not that I'd trust it enough to do any swimming downstream, but the water's too friggin' cold for that anyway. And I saw fish in there today. I prefer pool water to water that actually has "things" in it. In other news, it looks like our heat wave might be breaking one day too late. I left my thongs (flip-flops, not swim suit) on the patio yesterday and they melted. Fortunately, they were just my yard thongs and not my dress thongs. Yes, there is actually such a thing as "dress" thongs. At least in California there is. There are also several different categories of shorts and sunglasses for every occasion. I love California.
