2009 Inauguration brought to you by...

If you live in DC, this is about the 1001 blog you have probably read about inauguration and by this time you are getting sick of it, well this blog is dedicated to the second most popular thing found on the Mall at inauguration (the first being millions of tourists). Yes I am talking about the porta-potty. According to one news source there were some 5000 (another source lists the number at 7000) put on the National Mall, here are just a few for your viewing pleasure.

Don't be trying to get in them early! They are locked with a zip tab--I guess these porta-potties are for inauguration day use only!

Some were back to back

I saw some being unloaded....I think that is probably a better job than loading them up afterwards

Even more being unloaded, they just kept on coming!

The Last Door

For two years of my life I was a missionary for my church, a lot of time was spent talking to people on the street or knocking on doors searching for someone that would listen to the message that we had to share. Many weeks were spenting knocking, knocking, knocking. You never knew what to expect behind each door. Doors might be slammed in your face, you might be invited in, you might get someone arguing with your beliefs, or perhaps no one answers at all.

Then, one day it happened. The last door. The last door that you knock. The last chance. To me it was the symbolic end of one time period, and the beginning of something new. The last door was more than just the average door. Suddenly my life was no longer going to be a missionary, what would the future hold? What would be behind the new door of life that in essence I would be knocking on the next day? Would it lead to something argumentitive? Perhaps I will be invited in? Or maybe, like the final door that I knocked on my mission no one will answer. Looking forward to what lies behind the next door.
