Not All Blogs are Created Equal

I normally don't blog about other people's blogs but I came across such an interesting one today that I really felt compelled to share it.

A 36 year old mom from Northern Virginia has made visiting restrooms a part of her livelihood. Well, maybe "livelihood" isn't the best choice of words but it's safe to say she's been on a mission inspecting bathrooms in the Metro DC area. Either she eats out A LOT or she just has way too much time on her hands. But I don't know how that could be with two young boys to take care of.

Anyway, I read, with interest, her descriptions of the various restrooms she's visited. Mind you, I don't know any of the places she refers to but based on her recommendations, I know that when I travel to the DC area, I'll be very conscientous of where I'll eat based on her reports.

I am impressed with the fact that she would take the time to inspect and then post her findings to the general public. But isn't that something a state health inspector should do for us?

Nevertheless, I applaud this woman---who isn't even a baby boomer---for what she's doing. And get this: she even has a contest running until May 19 where she will give a $50 gift card to the person who directs her to the cleanest, dities, most interesting bathroom in the DC area.

Now, when she starts visiting houses, I'll give her a couple of addresses. You can read her blog at www.lavatorylady.blogspot.com
