Do you remember the real problem with the old outhouse. The flies? And the black widow spiders weaving webs under the the seats, sa one's juiciest tenderest parts were exposed to their attack. And the fastidious pouring a cup of quicklime in the hole after every use. The Sears and Roebuck catalog. And putting down the top. Every few years moving the house. Being careful to locate it down drainage from the well, even though it meant a 100 yd walk in winter. The sanitary pottery set in each bedroom. Mine was a vile purple. And burning out the pits, and filling them with the dirt dug from the new pits. Ah, country life!
