World Toilet Day

.

See these signs and symbols, as if on shards?
They point the way to sanitized toilet facilities of the archaeology museum at the foot of Masada.

So yes, it's not only S day on ABC Wednesday; it is also the annual World Toilet Day.
Seriously--the U.N. General Assembly has designated November 19 as World Toilet Day. 

The idea behind it is
"We can't wait to improve sanitation.
2.5 billion people do not have access to a clean and safe toilet."

  2. You know, it's tempting to make a joke. But I'm very grateful to have a clean, working toilet and I'll leave it at that.

  4. Our family go camping often - and often without a flushing toilet. Just a "drop toilet" (hole in ground with seat and tin above" or go behind the bushes with a shovel. When we get home the thing we appreciate is having a clean, lit, non smelly, flushing toilet. It's something we take for granted, and we shouldn't.

  9. Oh my gracious! Toilet day? That's amazing! Then again I remember Art describing the toilets in Mali and understand the world wide need for good sanitation.
