進門洗手
看到的是沒門遮掩的toilet
曾在Joe Pool Lake附近的公園因此嚇了一跳
今天是嚇了第二跳
還好牆上的飛鳥壁畫分散了我的驚嚇
泱泱大國的大州的大城市的大公園
沒經費設立小門嗎?
不設門有何特殊理由嗎?
同事為我釋疑:
夜晚的公園藏污納垢
常有不當行為在洗手間內進行
所以不設門以減少隱密性而減少發生率
入夜後還將鐵門拉上將整個廁所鎖住
同事建議甚至白天也不要進入以保安全
那很緊急時怎麼辦?
不知道!

The White Rock Lake Dam and Spillway
It is 40 feet high, 15 feet wide at the top,
and 469.5 feet above sea level
水量充沛時可見大瀑布
WHITE ROCK DAM, RESERVOIR AND PARK
Early Dallas residents relied on natural springs, artesian wells and the Trinity River for their water. By the early 1900s these sources began to prove inadequate for the growing city. In 1909, under Mayor Stephen J. Hay, the city began acquiring 2,292 acres of land to build a reservoir on White Rock Creek. The Fred A. Jones Co. began construction in January 1910, and the new dam and pump house were finished in 1911. Due to ongoing drought conditions, the lake did not fill until 1914. Beginning in 1917, the city permitted fishing at the lake. Within 10 years, sailing and boating were popular activities. In 1929 the land around the lake became a city park. The next year the city built a picnic shelter and tables, and the firm of Carsey and Linskie designed an Art Deco bathhouse and boathouse. The city also developed a sandy swimmers' beach. Until 1935, the city administered a prison farm at the lake, and from 1935 to 1942, a Civilian Conservation Corps (Co. 2896) camp operated, building many facilities. During this same time the Works Progress Administration provided for many other improvements.
In the 1930s and 1940s, more than a half million people visited the lake each summer. During World War II, the former CCC camp became a U.S. Army Air Corps center and the site of a camp for German prisoners-of-war. A drought in 1953 caused the city to ban swimming and temporarily use the lake as water source. In 1958 the city passed an ordinance banning large outboard motors. This drove outboard enthusiasts to other lakes. The number of park visitors declined in the ensuing years, but revitalization efforts have led to increased park usage and a movement to preserve the park and its history.

公園廁所那一段

你所謂的「飛鳥壁畫」
我直覺的認為是滿牆鳥糞
但優雅的您把它美化為「飛鳥壁畫」
當照片呈現 真的是「飛鳥壁畫」時
我笑的快沒力了
胖妹,
看來你是比較優雅也富想像力
看完你的留言
我也笑得沒力
稍減近日的鬱悶
