Downtown Hotels

Have you looked at yourself under a black light lately?  

Yes, and I looked like a refugee from Chernobyl. The bright side is the third arm growing out of my forehead is great for holding my beer while I eat.

How do you mark them?? 

Small spot with a fine point ball point pen.  Tiny little dot that is extremely not obvious.  And move the position around.

Wow.  I just get up in the morning and pull the sheets off the bed, wad them up and throw them in the corner.

Problem solved!

Not my job.  Plus, they WILL just put them back on....

I just realized there is one thing in a hotel room that I don't use anymore, the remote for the TV. I have an app for that on my Galaxy.

Hotel remotes always taste funny anyway.

I can stand outside a motel window and change the channel. It freaks out the people in the room.

If you are the one that slept in them, why are you so worried about it?  If they were clean sheets when you checked in, unless you stay for more than a just a few days, is it a problem?

At $125 a night, I don't think clean sheets every day is too much to ask for.  If I want to sleep in "used" sheets, I can do that cheaply at home or in an RV.  I could live with that for several days, typically.... besides, I want to get used to the kind of lifestyle I can have when I get to the 1% stage of life.  Fresh sheets every night!  Merry Maids cleaning every day.  Private chef....well, I guess that would actually be me....   Maybe a chauffeur??  Oh, yeah...I need a gardener, too!!


And, how would I know if they were clean sheets when I check in?  If they don't do what they SAY they will do when I am there watching, how could I have any expectation they are doing it when I am not there watching??

Stayed at Fairfield Inn (Marriott family of hotels) last night in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana.  Sheets looked 'fresh'.....no bed spread - just a narrow decorative quilt like thing.  Cleaned - washed and dried - the remote first thing when I arrived.

You stayed in three states simultaneously?

[heironymouspasparagus]

You stayed in three states simultaneously?

Yep.  Well, not actually all 3...just 2...back and forth from one block to the next, going between Texas and Arkansas.  They just like to do a mind game association with Louisiana....

Nice old downtown area with a lot of older buildings in various stages of decay and restoration.  Many more have been lost.  One free "atta-boy" to you if you tell me the name of the city/town.  Should be trivial....

Texarkana.

Yay, team!!  "Atta-boy"!!

Interesting town.  Doesn't look very prosperous, but some amazing architecture!

Always makes me think of Smokey and the Bandit
