I enjoyed the story about the Diefenbunker -- I didn't know toilets gave its secrets away!

I love how Americans, still use Imperial
measurements, write the date out of order,
and deep fry everything. I'm perplexed at
the secrets toilets reveal - even after
hundreds of years. . .

Happy Friday Miss C. And Happy Halloween too.
