It’s one of those things you never consider until you face it head-on, drenched in sweat and the thirst-comparative of starving; mad thirsty.
That’s how I found myself outside that convenience store in CollegeTown near CTB. I headed to the fridge knowing the only thing to quench my thirst was an ice-cold Zona, Grapeade.
I placed it on the counter, handed the clerk my dollar, and noticed something despicable at the display on the register: $1.07.
Like I’ve said before, Zona’s charm lies in its price. I had another dollar to cover it. I had $20. But just like I didn’t buy that $1.69 Zona at the rest stop, I refused to pay more than a buck for my Zona. Plus I wasn’t about to walk around with 93 damn cents weighing down my pockets and my spirits.
So in I go to the take-a-penny-leave-a-penny jar. 1-2-3-4-5-6-7 pennies.
Grapeade is delicious.
I made a trip to the registrar’s office after having forgotten my login for homerconnect. The office has moved to the new Park building. No, the other Park building not for communications. Wow, freshman are gonna have a bitch of a time getting to the right places the first week of class.
Anyways, I had just finished a Zona and needed to use the bathroom, and it’s all state-of-the-line. X-Celerator dryer that makes your skin wiggle, no-touch faucets, nice stone countertops. Two urinals, a no-peep wall, and a luxurious handicap stall.
There’s more. The flusher in the stall has two options. Up, for piss, or down, for shit.
piss/shit
My problem is the ambivalence of the Sloan company. You don’t have to sugar-coat it and write (liquid waste) (solid waste). We get it, people piss and shit in bathrooms. If you get close enough to read the sign (it’s right above the bowl) you shouldn’t be offended by such words.
Supposedly it uses less water if you just use the piss-flush, pardon, the “liquid waste” option. The new building is 100%green, even the handle of the flusher is!
And I don’t believe green paint protects against germs.
