BURLINGTON, ON
Without naming anyone – got the following from friends.
They, like hundreds of people, are looking for a way to break out of this social isolation we are all coping with.
The friends said: “Once I’ve got the deck up – I can set up some social distant chairs and invite you two over – each bring our own picnic hamper including drinks and glasses –
“I have an outhouse so nobody needs to go into the house – but at least we can talk to each other without wearing a mask if we’re a metre or so apart.”
The outhouse will be a new experience but we do need to talk about that 1 metre distancing when all current advice recommends 2 metres.
Might wait until the next Town Hall the Mayor puts on and ask the medical experts if this would be acceptable.

Why are the cut outs on out houses either a crescent moon or a star?
Hint….Only the Women could use the one in this picture.
Good luck with the outhouse. If they don’t have enough TP, and we no longer have Eaton’s catalogues to use, what else is there? Warning: Don’t use dried leaves! Some of them might be dehydrated poison ivy!
Editor’s note: Information overload
Perhaps the owner can play “Ode to the Little Brown Shack out Back” by Bobby Bare–great theme music!
