Thoughts and takes on the way life presents.... |
I kicked off my vacation to the Grand Canyon by stopping off at the EconoLodge. Avoid this hotel chain. The one in Jackson, MN is a testament to high priced slum hotels. We specifically asked for a handicapped accessible room, not a fake handicap accessible room. If you are a hotel chain, it is not a handicap room if you cannot get the chair in through the door, and no bench seat in the tub. Handrails and no locks does not a precious bathroom experience make for the handicapped. And if you own a hotel, make sure the toilet actually works. The one we had ran all night. If you want to avoid a trip to the hospital, make sure you sniff the eggs at the EconoLodge. The ones at our hotel had been there for a very long time because they had already turned yellow. I was kind and did leave a note for the next unsuspecting person. The only decent thing about this chain was they had soft pillows. Big whoop. Then to top it off, I found out they charged me $30 more than the amount quoted on the phone. When I asked for an adjustment, I was told no. I have a big mouth. If I have my way, no more people will get burned at this chain. That's all. Sign me one more disgruntled EconoLodge victim. |
So I just got done with the Game of Thrones. If you have a mind to, take a look at my entries for this year's game by going to my port and checking out the GoT writings. I placed in some rounds and won two head to head challenges. That is something new for me. This is the first year I placed. It's a big deal because the talent in the competition is superior. And if you want some things to make you giggle or shake your head, the things marked FinalCut are all impromptu writing exercises. If it takes more than 10 minutes for poems or 15 minutes for a story, something's wrong. If it looks like fun to you, go to Blog City and join our team for next year. Lots of fun and crazy writing that pushes your creativity to the max. "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise" link should take you to Blog City where you can join a wonderful community of writers. |
