An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Why Am I Here Again?
My drive from Podunk to Nashville was rather uneventful, except the closer I got to my destination, the more nutty the drivers. Excuse me, but if you see a very large truck in front of me, and a very large truck beside me, this means I can’t speed up to let your sorry ass pimped out F-150 get by. No matter how close you get to crawling up my butt, it’s not going to help. SO BACK YOUR ASS OFF! sigh….
I found the motel with no problem at all. This has got to be the biggest Comfort Inn I’ve ever seen. From the exterior, it’s rather nice. Oh, the room is just fine too, a little on the smallish side, but hey, I don’t need a lot of room, do I. It’s not like I’m going to be having a star studded party here, right?
Well, I had no problem until I took a gander at the window, which evidently was the target of a break in it’s history. It’s locked, but warped, with a stick bracing it closed. sigh… As I looked around, I noticed there were no ashtrays. I’m a smoker. I get smoking rooms. When you check in expecting at least one ashtray in your room, and there are none, you tend to immediately call the desk and request ashtrays. I called. The phone rang for a good 20 times. Annoyed, I slam down the phone. I take a deep breath, wait at least 30 seconds, and dial the front desk again.
This time, the nice young man picked up. Very friendly, he informs me that he’ll bring an ashtray up, no more than five minutes. An hour and a half later, I walked down to the desk. Now, I usually don’t let things get to me. I’ll grumble a bit, but rarely am ever rude to people. This was no exception. While I was there, I got some extra coffee. But I’ll be darned if I didn’t forget to ask ‘em why they don’t have Fox News! 
I’d like to say this was the view from my window, but I can’t.
I had to walk out the door, and look left to see anything. The view from my window, other than the walkway, is the freeway. I have earplugs!
One thing that is bothering me. When I got here I checked my email, and found one about the ‘press conference’ tomorrow. This is July. Summer. Mega heatwave. And it’s OUTSIDE! Criminy! Hence, the title. Well, I suppose it shouldn’t be too bad at 10am. Pfft! Yeah……right!
