The Toilet that Daddy Would Have Bought Me

Kurt Johnson of Kurt's Plumbing just left, and I'm very happy with the toilet he just put in.  I told him that my dad didn't like to spend money, but he was so distraught by the rust/deposits that made it look as if there was always something brown in the toilet bowl that he offered to buy me a new toilet.  I turned him down, but I don't remember why.  Maybe it was because he didn't mention the plumbing involved--just the the toilet.
But I still appreciate that offer Daddy made, and I'm sorry he didn't live to see it.  When we die, they say we won't regret not having spent more time at the office.  We'll regret not getting a new, pristine toilet in time for those who care.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
