What Comes Down Must Go Up…………WAY up! (Part 4 – JUNE 2025)
As usual, chronology rules.
JUNE 2
You may recall that I mentioned last month that I already had my highlight for this month on June 2, Fortunately, nothing surpassed it the rest of the month, so here we go……..
June 1 was a Sunday, so nothing to shoot. The next day, I saw this guy acting weird while straddling a property fence and some rebar……….like he needed to use the Port-O-John or something, but I guess he didn’t want his co-workers to know.
Somehow, he slipped around the back of the units and into one of them.
He thought he was undetected, but you can see some mischievous smiles as those “friends” slip something onto that unit:
I think he knew he was in trouble when they started shaking the box:
Next thing he knew, he was flying through the air……………but he couldn’t see anything:
The last I saw of him, he was stopped at a red light at Main and Passaic streets (click to enlarge):
When was the last time you saw an occupied flying toilet?
(Well, it could have happened………….)

Parked on State St early AM – looks like a busy day:

I don’t know what’s in that basket, but that last image looks like it’s delivering some form of toilet paper to one of the Port-O-Sans (click to enlarge):

Bob,
I think you missed your calling. You should have been a construction engineer, not a chemist.
