Bowling Green, Kentucky
I just checked into a Drury Inn in Bowling Green, Kentucky. Anybody want to hang out?
Free popcorn? That's very . . . thoughtful . . . of them. Be sure to read the label carefully for toxic flavorings and hydrogenated stuff.
Do you have a coffee maker? I know I would worry less if you ran it several times with plain water before using it to make coffee. You can wash the carafe in shampoo -- it's just as good as dish liquid. Do the same for those cups! You just never know where things have been . . . and it's moist inside those coffee makers . . . they're used just enough to keep all their little roach-attracting crevices damp! It's the perfect place for their eggs!
Speaking of where things have been, it's sometimes a good practice to ask for fresh towels. I know the ones in there look clean, but who really knows for sure? What if the last person only used one, but coughed and sneezed on the rest? And remember that study showing that every toilet flush created a room-filling aerosol of bacteria . . .
Just explain this to the management. They'll be happy to give you fresh towels. Sheets, too. I worry that the previous person would have made the bed so nicely that the housekeeper would have thought it hadn't been slept in! If you ask, they'll give you an extra clean sheet to cover any upholstered chairs you might want to sit.
Just pick up that bedspread so that it folds up, and plop it in an unused corner of the room. Although, I suppose no harm could come to you from sitting on it. Nothing that can't be cured with a little prescription, anyway.
Did you remember to bring a bit of disinfectant to wipe down the bathroom? And the phone? Etc.? They'll gladly let you use theirs if you ask, but shampoo will do in a pinch. Of course, then you'll need more of it, but that's ok. Just ask!

Snort! Bowling GREEN! It's the stuff with Jacks, not ten-pin or nine-pin! Is it Crown, or just Flat? I'm guessing Flat.djm wrote:Five-pin or ten-pin. What's your pleasure?Whistlin'Dixie wrote:what's there to do in Bowling Green, anyway?

Nice restful sport, and better acoustics than those raucous hell-holes with ten-pins.
Wizard needs whiskey, badly!

- Tell us something.: I used to be a regular then I took up the bassoon. Bassoons don't have a lot of chiff. Not really, I have always been a drummer, and my C&F years were when I was a little tired of the drums. Now I'm back playing drums. I mist the C&F years, though.

My family used to take camping vacations every summer and one year one of our stops was a great campground in Bowling Green, KY. The coolest part was that there was an amusement park attached and we could walk there. I played a ton of SkeeBall and won a giant teddy bear. I wonder if that's still there.
Also, I have to wonder about the person who named it the Drury Inn. It makes me think of 'dreary' and I prefer to stay someplace more upbeat.

Lambchop - you sound like my husband! This is why we've only stayed in motels a handful of times in 20 years - he insists that camping is more sanitary because it's all our bedding and towels. I think of all the bugs we're out amongst, plus the campground restrooms and showers have been used by many more people than the motel rooms are in any one night!Lambchop wrote:Free popcorn?
