Those port-a-potties look nicer then the outhouse we had when I was growing up in SD. The only water we had was an outside pump that froze up every night in the winter, but we didn't have to buy ice for the icebox. My dad brought home 5 gallons of kerosene for the oil burner in the living room every day and when we were lucky it didn't run out before morning. We heated the house with the wood burning cook stove in the daytime, we burnt cobs mostly. We did get running water when I was a freshman in high school, so things were looking up.
