Jane and I at Rancho El Sebo del Coyote, Puerta Trampa, Baja California, Mexico.

THE PIT IS LIGHTED

My wife Jane and I own a small ranch in Puerta Trampa, Baja California, and we spend the weekend there occasionally. The facilities are as basic as they can be, with an outhouse functioning as W.C.

Both Jane and I have occasional need to go the bathroom in the middle of the night, and we have to walk to the outhouse a distance of about 70 ft. I have several flashlights, which we use, among other things, for finding our way to the outhouse at night.

One day, after returning from a trip to the outhouse, my wife said: "I do not know where is the flashlight... I looked all over for it... but the pit is lighted!"
