Yosemite

Back from the South Side of Yosemite Park, and grandchildren. There must have been a half mile auto queue at the entrance as we drove out, with perhaps a dozen tour buses between the entrance and Madera downhill. I did the Glacier Point loop yesterday with nine people aged 10 to 48; I was far the slowest and tried not to remember that 40 years ago I would have done it at a trot.

The sign in the upscale Parks Service privies says (I quote from memory):

Please do not put garbage down the toilets.
We have a tough time fishing it out.


Good strategy, that. Explain the potential consequences of the subject's action. Beneath it was a sign saying:

Ask About Our Intern Program

No, I made that up.
