Some excitement at the hotel, last night.
A couple (mid twenties) moved in next-door to me on Saturday. They were the usual fun-and-games-type–lots of booze, closed drapes, slap-and-tickle–but no problems until about 1:30 this morning. That’s when they arrived at the hotel drunk, and for some reason couldn’t get in their room.
The solution, or so they thought, was to yell and curse the door. The night clerk was then called in, and when she couldn’t open the door, my buddy Dave (head maintenance guy) was summoned. More yelling and screaming ensued, i.e. “What sort of a cheap f**king hotel is this?” and such. Whereupon the cops were called.
Bottom line: I’ve always said these mixed couples were trouble!
Back to venting
Presently the exchange rate on the Canadian dollar is 0.9833 or 0.177 cents difference. Nevertheless, Visa is charging me 0.6 cents on the dollar. Why? I mean, aren’t they satisfied charging 19% interest when the return on deposit accounts of less than 1%?
Meanwhile our gutless government makes platitudes about getting tough on crime. Well, what do you call ‘highway robbery?’
Needless to say I’m applying for an American credit card, and when I get back to Canada Visa is going to take a hike!
Cooler in the 60s today, but beautifully bright.
Regards to all
