More about Poop

Out of everything I planned to encounter, confront and cry about it Haiti, poop was high on the list. Poop is problematic. There are lots of animals that dont necessarily have designated poop areas. There are latrine issues. There are issues with people eating food they dont normally eat. Given my past Haiti experience with bucket flush toilettes I was expecting to strengthen my relationship with bodily functions this time around. I was NOT expecting the compound cat to set up a poopy area right next to the power strip where we all plug in our computers. 

Of all the obstacles I planned to face in Haiti, poop was pretty low on the list.

This Saturday, upon waking, I ran down to the garden, gloves in hand, ready to face the day.  The first thing I saw (or rather, smelled), was a large human poop.  It was magenta.

Although I was happy find out that this individual had been eating a steady diet of beets, I was less enthralled with their choice of venue for pooping.  My gardening high continued to wane the more I looked around - like a gastrointestinal battlefield, the garden was covered with unwelcome organic material. 

As another week of fun begins, I plan on bringing you the most honest and hard-hitting accounts of my battle with poop.  Who will win, vegetables or fecal coliform? 

On a more serious note

Everyone should read this blog post. It's by a guy I knew at All Hands and it's tremendously good and relevant.
