Honeybucket is the go-to portable toilet company here in Seattle. Think plastic outhouse held together by fistful of rivets. You see them on almost every jobsite, including ours. On a sunny day it gets pretty warm--an object lesson in greenhouse effect. Spiders like it as incubator for their offspring. Hundreds of tiny grain-sized arachnids huddle in a ball until it warms up enough for them to set out on their own, albeit connected by invisible threads. Which is more than a metaphor for people's relationship to the rest of nature; there are literal connections binding us but we can't always see them. What started last week as a compact cluster above the urinal today expanded to a living chandelier of exquisite lace occupying half the low domed ceiling. But rather than disturb them I kept my distance, leaned back and issued a fireboat salute to their survival and hit the mark... for the most part. |
