Day Four: Pee and Pregnancy

How you know you're in a bathroom that's occupied primarily by men:  1)  When you see a sign warning everyone not to "abuse" the facility lest it get shut down again;  2)  When you walk through the unlocked door straight into the sight of a guy standing, completely unphased, at the urinal.

Ah, Driver's Lounge Bathroom.  Always an adventure.

Today one of my fares was a pregnant woman.  When the significance of this hit me, I was as honored as I was terrified.  It's a remarkable thing, how unthinkingly we will entrust strangers with our own safety, and the safety of our little ones, during what is arguably the most dangerous activity of the day.  Makes a person realize that the line between faith and denial is very thin indeed.
