You Can't Clog a Compost Toilet
Credit for that title goes to my mother who remarked the aforementioned phrase following some plumbing drama at my sister's apartment. Any way, I just thought I'd talk to you guys and gals. Just so you know, they turned a giant Christmas tree into a light bulb in New York City tonight, using without a doubt enough energy to heat quite a few homes. In case you didn't know, Obama has thoroughly pissed me off by nominating Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State. I didn't drive two and a half hours to Richmond, VA to canvass so Obama could nominate half of the people from the Clinton administration. Politics here is still annoying beyond comprehension, despite all the feel good new political era bull$#!% which the media is spewing. Sorry, I got angry. I won't do it again, scout's honor.
If you take one thing away from this post, let it be that typhoid fever really knocks the hell out of you...I took two naps today! Two! I haven't taken two naps in one day since I was five! I'm no longer under house arrest, I'm allowed to go out and do stuff, I'm just too tired. I have some pictures which I think you'll all enjoy, Mirise has seen one, how do I upload them to the blog? Any way it's Christmas season, just so you know, three people were trampled to death during the post-Thanksgiving Day sales. I kid you not, three people were trampled...to DEATH! People are pretty up in arms here about the Mumbai attacks, it's strange neither the media nor your average American seemed to care the least bit about the last 15 terrorist attacks in India, but this time, oh my have they awakened a sleeping dragon or maybe as it's just a paper tiger (two points for whoever knows where the "paper tiger" allusion comes from, hint: Tibetans don't like him). I think it's cause white people were killed. The world is a cruel place, your journey is going to help alleviate some of that cruelty, three cheers for you! OK, I think that's it for now, hopefully somebody derives some amusement from my little musings here. Oh what fun an expansive vocabulary is, that's a rule of mine, never use the same adjective within three sentences of each other, but rules are meant to be broken and I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find an example of me breaking my own rule in one of my blog posts. OK, I'm done, I promise.

Doug,
You are brilliant! Compost toilets! That could save me thousands of dollars in Roto-Rooter fees, as 'flushable wipes' aren't as flushable as advertised. I'm wondering if I could install compost toilets in all of our classrooms! An end to plumbing expenses.... must investigate.
As to HIllary, isn't there the adage
Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.

I think it sets her up to be pres in 2016, and keeps her from undermining Obama for the next 8 years. We shall see.

(this is from everyone... we're eating breakfast together)
We love you Doug!! We just read your post out loud and laughed and laughed. We're in Varanasi and we were just thinking how much we feel like you're still here - we feel your energy with us all the time, actually. Ari says thank you for keeping in touch on the blog.
We're going to Sarnath today and we'll do some prayers and circumambulation at the monolithic stupa for you. Wade says it's like a giant stone egg and Tim says (in his million dollar voice) "That's no ordinary stupa..."
We'll see you in maybe 487 kiloseconds, by Justin's calculations.
Love,
All of US
