Today is World Toilet Day. It was created sometime ago to help inspire action to tackle the global sanitation issue. Worldwide, 3.47 billion people live without "safely managed sanitation" and around 419 million people practice open defecation.

Here is one of the many privies that are built along some of our long trails here in the states. I want to give a huge shoutout to the many trail maintainers and volunteers that help build and empty these outhouses (and that help keep me from digging as many cat holes).

My oldest sent this in our family text thread simply saying ‘Tripp Nelson’. My lovely wife responds, ‘Dang! You keep hitting the nail on the head!’ (They know me too well) 🤪
