Imagine what the property taxes on that thing will be in the People's Republic of Kalifornia.

It's old news from 2013:

Privies used to be segregated and identified by sex, as the delicate sensibilities of women forbade them from exposing their privates in the same facilities where men, especially men unrelated to them, would expose their privy members. So far as identification goes, the history of the quarter-moon on the door of the privy or outhouse goes back hundreds of years.  Most historians are of the opinion that the custom started in Europe in the 1500’s or the 1600’s. It was common practice back then to identify which facility was which by means of a circular symbol or star on the door of the men's’ and a crescent-moon on the ladies’. The use of the circle and quarter-moon was especially common at inns and lodging houses.  The use of symbols rather than words was necessary due to the widespread illiteracy of the times. Not only was general illiteracy a problem, but also the clientele of such places were more likely to be travelers from another country and of another culture and language. These universal male/female signs were easy to make and easy to "read" so most such places had their outdoor facilities so identified.
As to why today, at least in the USA, the symbol for the privy is always the crescent moon, there are several theories. It is thought that men, in general, let their privies fall into such disrepair that it was the women's privies alone that survived the test of time. This is actually a quite plausible (and also quite likely, according to the wife) explanation. Another explanation is that the crescent moon was easier to cut out than a circle or a star, and with the passage of the centuries, women’s sensibilities became somewhat less delicate. In any case, the cutout serves both as ventilation and to admit light into a closed privy, as there are usually no windows.

I gave up on hard-boiling eggs years ago. Dunno what has changed with eggs, but it has become increasingly difficult for me to hard-boil them where they can easily be peeled.
Pro Tip: Put a dozen or more raw eggs in a metal baking pan and place it in a cold oven. Set the oven on convection bake @ 350F for 45 minutes. Perfectly baked eggs every time, that can easily be peeled.

People who say money can't buy happiness just don't know where to shop.

......nearly 60 years later, not 50.

This summer can't end fast enough for me. First week of September and it's going to be at or near 100 all week here, with humidity of 80%. Myself, I get the sadz at the end of winter, not summer, for spring in these parts lasts for about a week before it's at least 90 again.

Regarding brownies, everyone knows that bigger is better; adequate quantity can compensate for inadequate quality.
What I hate are dry brownies, which aren't too bad if resuscitated with a good vanilla ice cream. But I'm a purist and want a good brownie all by its lonesome. Chopped walnuts are a plus.

Where's the half-moon cutout on the door?

The book 'The Ghost Map' indicates that John Snow was the only man in London who believed that cholera was waterborne. At the time he had no contemporaries of like mind; there were no 'others'. The pump in question was not 'fixed'; it was blocked out of service. The pump was not suspected as the cause of the epidemic (contamination from a leaking cesspool adjacent to the pump) until after he had made the map, which showed the pump to be at the epicenter. The science for which John Snow is credited for pioneering is known as epidemiology.
