Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Why is it that no one wants to talk about a really big issue - bathrooms. With Covid 19, those of us who are shall we say more advanced in years and wisdom must struggle with walks of no more than an hour, or visits away from home of short duration because we NEED TO PEE. If you drive to a park, the facilities are locked. If you go anywhere, is there a restroom anywhere available, and if so is it ever cleaned? So many outings are nixed because I would have to squat in public or wet my pants. Last week that happened. I was walking with my daughter and two grandsons and I realized I really, really, really needed to pee. I practically crossed my legs walking, but before we returned to my daughter's house, I'd had "an accident", kind of like my 3 year old grandson. I had to borrow pants from my daughter, and return home with my soggy bag. I would have happily used a portapotty if I'd spotted one, but no. All my friends complain about this. Restaurants being closed is not all about the food, it's the restrooms, stupid. People my age are isolated in so many ways, but aa central issue is scouting for bathrooms, or taking 20 ten minute walks a day. Quite the challenge!
