Restroom News

Ya'll I haven't done any mail art lately as I just can seem to find the creativity for it. I've been in a long derth. But I do collect some odd bits of paper that I enjoy. I am an educational consultant and visit schools. Here's a great news sheet I found in the girl's restroom and the student newspaper. I was in Plano, Texas a suburb of Dallas. It's pronounced "plane oh". Names and faces covered since some are minors.

DK: Your new RR Selfie makes you look like one of the spies from the 1950s Mad Magazine comic strip "Spy vs. Spy.". Love it!

Traveled again this week to a school in Houston. This school was so new and different there were no interesting signs on the walls about washing your hands, proper disposal of products, breast self-exams, etc. But on the way home I stopped at Hruska's in Ellington which is a gas station which has evolved into a Czech bakery and convenience store with all kinds of merchandise. Here's some restroom pics.

Porta-John Selfies at Cranberry Acres Equestrian Center, Amelia, Va. USA. No small thing trying to get low enough to get my mug in a mirror hung at the right height for 8 year olds!
