For those of you out there that have too much time on your hands and wish to display that energy in the crafting of bathroom related items, I have found just the URLs for you!
Always wanted to crochet a tiny toilet? It would make an appropriate ornament for a Christmas tree in Los Osos. You could get started crocheting right now and have plenty to bestow as gifts for Christmas or throughly decorate your own tree—use yarn in festive colors, why stop at white? Here you go—http://www.thecuckoobee.com/store/toilet/—you can pay for the pattern using PayPal and it is just $4.99!
A free pattern for another style of commode can be found here: http://kimlapsley.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-toilet-no-2.html
How about a knitted roll of toilet paper? This pattern can be extended even longer so that it can double as a winter scarf! Get the free pattern here:

There are many designs for knitting or crocheting covers for that extra roll of paper you stash in plain sight, perhaps on the back of the tank. There are patterns for dolls, turtles, poodles, hats, an octopus, a cupcake. But the one that is the most compelling for me anyway, is a cover that looks like a roll of toilet paper! How clever is that? Find that free pattern here:

Really, this is but a small sample of the wonderful bathroom related crafts out there. Google around a bit and see for yourself!

Alfresco Potty at Sea
I was looking for some shots of a sewer plant that I had visited years ago but instead ran across some photos I'd taken while at sea, on my way to Catalina aboard the S.S. Lane Victory. This ship is one of the many Victory ships used in World War II, the Korean War and after, when they were converted to uses other than cargo ships or scrapped. My dad had been in the WWII Merchant Marines, so a sailing tour out of San Pedro to Catalina on this refurbished, floating museum seemed like an interesting and educational trip (for my sister and I) down memory lane (for him).
I wouldn't be writing about this trip if the item below was not hanging off the side of the ship. But to show another side of sewer, this time the ocean itself, seemed appropriate to this Los Osos sewer blog.
I personally can't imagine how desperate I'd have to be to use such an item as this, but I guess, putting myself in the unselfconscious frame of mind as a fish, perhaps in the dead of night........ I think you had to bring your own un-fish-like toilet paper, you really couldn't leave "tissue" out in the damp sea air.
If you are in San Pedro and want an unforgettable experience (you do get a nice lunch too), visit the Lane Victory (the real bathrooms are inside), for either a visit to the museum while the ship is docked, or a cruise. I'm including a link to the ship's website. You might want to visit the Lane Victory's Facebook page too.
