In which city budget cuts lead to my arrest.

Well, ok, I didn't actually get arrested. Just a strong reprimand from an SPD officer who told me in no uncertain terms that I could get arrested for public indecency if I urinated in the wooded area of the park again.

Why was I peeing, discretely, or so I thought, in Golden Gardens park? Not because the name suggested such an act was permissible. Rather, I found myself for the second time this week in a Seattle park on the day that it happened to be closed for furlough i.e. not staffed, i.e. locked bathrooms.

On Monday I held it, today I could not.
