Dear Diary

Dear Diary,

This is going to be so much fun!  Parks are so pretty!  I don't know why I don't spend more time in them.

Oops, darn.  Everyone knows you should never lie to your diary, and there I've gone and done it in the first paragraph.  As an unsheltered homeless man, I know perfectly well why I prefer to spend my days inside.  Top of the list:  running water, to flush, to wash, and to drink.

Seattle mayor Jenny Durkan wants us, during this crisis, to use the parks' restrooms and water fountains for these purposes.  I've been mostly failing to fulfill this perfectly reasonable request, and have decided there's a story in these failures.  So here goes.
