Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 17, 2015

Back in the early ’70s I lived for a time in a place with no indoor plumbing. If we woke up in the middle of the night needing to go to the bathroom, we had to go outside in the cold to the outhouse..Meanwhile, if the cats got the same urge in the middle of the night, the sandbox was right across the room from the wood stove; they could go in comfort and then return to their super-warm sleeping area..And when the sandbox needed changing, we had to take it outside and bury the contents..An alien landing here would have no trouble figuring out which species was in charge of this planet.
