Plein Air Peeing

Recently, finding myself alone in the chilled early morning sun-drenched backyard of a suburban San Diego home, I rediscovered a long forgotten small pleasure of being a guy, and being alive: peeing outdoors.

Don’t get me wrong: indoor plumbing is one of my all time favorite inventions. If not for indoor plumbing, humans could not live in cities of millions, with all the cultural, intellectual, and social pleasures to be experienced there, while not expiring en masse from the noxious effects of their collective effluvia.

But in the sanitary time and place in which I live, peeing outdoors is unusual, out of the ordinary. Not to mention illegal. While I was in fact peeing outdoors, it was different from peeing in public; not like standing outside a Blarney Stone bar in the 5pm Manhattan rush hour, peeing on the Locksmith shop next door. I was alone, had plenty of privacy, stood partly screened by the leafy tree I was watering, and when done, I’m sure I left nothing but my footprints on the grass and a coded message only the neighborhood’s dogs could parse.

Peeing outdoors every now and then gives one perspective...
