Yesterday I was telling my brother about the Fire Smart program going on in our community. They are clearing the trails of all the dead trees/brush and preparing for another fire season (which started March 1st!). I know this is necessary, especially after the fires we had last year in May. At the same time I am missing all that tree coverage along the Sawridge Creek trail, a trail that meanders through our town. I run on that trail daily and I was telling my brother how I wished I had asked the crews to leave a few stands so I can still discreetly "pee" in the bush, something that I need to do frequently when running.

That got my brother thinking of a new line of "Depends" - ones for the "active incontinent" amongst us. We could come up with a great product that would "wick" away that moisture as soon as you relieved yourself. Pity the poor runners behind you - it won't be a friendly spray of sweat that they are getting. It might be a good incentive to be faster so you are never the one downwind.

For now I will be scoping the trail for new places to relieve myself - that was the first thing I learned to do when I started running, how to go pee in the bush! I promise to be discreet and I'll start working on that new product line....

Happy Trails everyone.
