So, yeah, that's a toilet in the middle of an auto repair shop...
Remember that scene in Astoria's favorite movie, The Goonies, where the toilet explodes — well thats pretty much what happened last Thursday night in Ilwaco, when toilets literally exploded in a SW block of town, causing raw sewage to flow from the shop "like a river" while at a house across the street, over three inches of, well, you know, covered their floor and bathtub. Thankfully I wasn't sent to check it out until the next day, after much of the clean-up had already taken place (though I still had to go home and change my shoes afterward). So far no one has stepped up to take responsibility for the "incident." But while the shop has concrete floors that can be sprayed down and brushed clean, at the house across the street they've had to pay to have the carpet and flooring removed — talk about a crappy deal...
