I really can’t imagine California doesn’t have any high speed rail. High speed rail really helps to boost tourism, new Shanghai to Nanjing high speed rail in China is just an example, it transports average 75800 passengers daily in its first 15 days starting from July 1.

Even older ones didn’t have the macerator. It was a tube that just directed things at the track. If someone did use it in the station it was the train crew’s job to clean it up.

I understand that you are not supposed to remain on the bowl for too long, but I take other precautions that minimize the risk.

Thanks, though.

Sounds like you’re working on some wicked hemorrhoids.
