It seems that oldies station #KRTH ( #K-earth_101 ) fully changed from a 1955-1973 format to a 1980s format (the station plays in the laundromat).
While I still enjoy the music, I was still surprised that the nation’s #1 oldies station abandoned the version of the oldies format that made them the leader. For my part, they used to play songs that I’d never heard anywhere else.
As for the laundromat, during the entire time I was there, fewer than ten people were ever there. In contrast, the hotel laundry room is a tiny place, and there were three people already in there yesterday when I was going to wash.
In all of this, I’m hearing a thoughtful, contemplative person who has finally found his voice. He’s using words longer than five letters long, spelled correctly, with proper punctuation and discussing concepts that I’m only aware of because of some of the courses I took in college.
(I guess some of those discussions about what I was studying sunk in. I did not know he was paying attention.)
There’s something wonderful about using products that do not make your skin feel like you just poured a corrosive chemical over yourself ( or rubbed sensitive parts with sandpaper ), but the industry does not want to pay for such products.
* I work for the US government. As a rule, government does not pay for the highest priced hotels. But when I was in #PR ( #Puerto_Rico, not to be confused with Google’s #Page_Rank algorithm ), the only hotels available were in the luxury tourist area. I found this to also be true there.
I’m sure most travellers bring their own screens and rely on Internet access to connect them to whatever they wish to view. A lot of them probably also use the television, at least for now.
@geniusmusing @guizzy After I saw the single cup machine at the #hotel, I bought a $20 #coffee maker that automatically brews “12 cups” (tiny cups) of Folger’s decaf every morning at 05:00.
I’m quite satisfied with it. It is much better than the coffee they brew downstairs and the coffee in the office. (I am not a coffee snob.)
I don't know what they were thinking. On the scale at which the NCAA tournament operates, one night's hotel stay is nothing. (Plus, this was likely long after check-out time, so they I'm sure they paid for that night anyway.)
Then I saw a little hill near the #hotel, so I went walking in that direction. Before I had increased my elevation by ten feet, I got a cramp in my left calf. I decided to return to the hotel and leave the hill for another day.
This is a legacy of flying over the handlebars and hitting my head on a curb, then lying in the gutter’s muddy water until one of my friends ran to my apartment and got my mom and brother. Every two to five years, the same ear gets an infection that lasts for months with or without medical attention.
#coin-laundry ... this wasn't the cleanest or best maintained place. I may look for another laundromat next time. This one is just right on the way from the work site to the #hotel.
@amic Did your #hotel have #karaböcek ( #cockroaches ), or am I the only one lucky enough to have stayed in a hotel that had an infestation of undesirable residents?
