Maybe they figure that if you don't really have to go THAT bad, while you are waiting for the portapotty to become available, you'll buy more junk...

I have no idea! Anyway, I had a great 4th of July. I took the entire week off and went to Myrtle Beach and came back to NC to spend the 4th with family and friends. Other than having to suffer through Legally Blonde 2 with my 11 year old daughter, the day was great! :o)

>>Uninsulated wooden houses with no central air? WOW. Here in the U.S. only those that are considered too poor to update their homes or those that are 'roughing it wilderness style' or believe in 'getting back to the basics' live like that these days! I watched a special on tv not long ago that stated how poor the south still is and the evidence was not only uninsulated houses but no a/c as well. Of course, we do still have homes in NC with outhouses and no indoor plumbing...

>Speaking of outhouses, why is it when you go to some carnivals for the 4th of July celebration, they only rent about 10 outhouses for gatherings of hundreds of people? That really sucks. How was your holiday weekend Tracy?
