Random Notes While I’m Here
1. At about hour 16 of the long day yesterday I was temporarily distracted by a video billboard. It was showing some scrumptious lobster and steak dinner. While I was watching in rapt fascination I failed to notice that traffic had stopped rather suddenly in front of me. Needless, to say, when we too stopped, it was rather abrupt.
2. The housekeeping staff at this big fat “resort” are perfectly comfortable cleaning the men’s rooms while it’s being used.
3. One of the little tourist junk shops across the street sells cute little pipes. I wonder what they're for? Smoking very small amounts of tobacco?
