Elevator

On entering elevator this morning, hear woman say to man, You Can't just Treat the Symptom, you need to Treat the Cause. Think, approvingly, that she is talking about racisim or similar. Woman continues, It is Fine to replace the rubber mat with a carpet (see now that she is not talking about big social issue, but, elevator we are currently in and become more interested) -- goes on, The first time somebody pees on the floor, the carpet will be ruined. The carpet is not a Long Term Solution, she says firmly. Very much agree. The mind reels. Wonder (hope) that when she says Somebody, that she means a dog. Jenny once guilty of aforementioned crime, but only because deranged Jack Russell from fifth floor tried to bite Jenny's ear which naturally, made Jenny upset.
