On October 31, 2020, former Twitler White House advisor Steve Bannon — who had left Twitler’s administration in 2017 — explained to a group of people that, knowing that votes for Korn Pop would accumulate throughout the evening as mail-in ballots were counted, Twitler planned simply to declare victory on election night, seizing the presidency and claiming that any results to the contrary were an attempt to steal the election from him.
There was another important task at camp, even before the swim test, the inspection and cleaning of the outhouse. We were told not to use the toilet until Mr. Mitchell declared it ready.
Mr. Mitchell would head for the outhouse armed with a can of wasp spray and a bottle of bleach. He drafted me once to go get a jug of water and help. He checked all around inside and out, spraying any wasp or hornet nests. He even squirted a cloud down into the toilet. He then liberally poured the bleach all over the bench to sanitize it. After a short while he instructed me to use the water to wash off the bleach. We would have to wait a while for the seat to dry before using it. He may have done this more often, but I only remember the initial cleaning when we arrived.
We in the Rattlesnake patrol still complained of the horrid smell which was not abated by the cleaning.
Upon further reflection, there was also an opportunity to apply the #Scouting Motto - Be Prepared. Always check to make sure that there is toilet paper when visiting the John Monster. It was quite embarrassing to hear someone pleading to be rescued by bringing them toilet paper. And they would be the butt of adolescent jokes. (Bad pun intended.)

Part of being prepared for summer camp was packing all the personal equipment on the list Mr. Mitchell provided before we got there. Jeff #Scouting

I didn’t even remember there was a list, much less what was on it! #Scouting
