No rv’s without a restroom & shower for me going forward.

Public facilities are becoming way to dangerous for trans people. Especially out in the middle of nowhere.

Wow, that gave me a flashback to the '90s when new taxes on consumer goods in NJ led to big protests. One of the taxes was on toilet paper, so some folks decided to mail used pieces of it to the governor. :unamused: I felt really sad for the folks working in the mail room, because it’s disgusting and a biohazard.

Hopefully they’ll track down some of the ones responsible for this incident, so they can ask…

During a Thanksgiving cruise on the Nile in 2015, Patterson was suddenly felled by severe stomach cramps. When a clinic in Egypt failed to help his worsening symptoms, Patterson was flown to Germany, where doctors discovered a grapefruit-size abdominal abscess filled with Acinetobacter baumannii, a virulent bacterium resistant to nearly all antibiotics.

Found in the sands of the Middle East, the bacteria were blown into the wounds of American troops hit by roadside bombs during the Iraq War, earning the pathogen the nickname “Iraqibacter.”

“Veterans would get shrapnel in their legs and bodies from IED explosions and were medevaced home to convalesce,” Strathdee told CNN, referring to improvised explosive devices. “Unfortunately, they brought their superbug with them. Sadly, many of them survived the bomb blasts but died from this deadly bacterium.”

Today, Acinetobacter baumannii tops the World Health Organization’s list of dangerous pathogens for which new antibiotics are critically needed.

Thanks for nothing. I particularly didn’t enjoy the tiny Hannibal Lecter mouthguards.
