Oooh la la!

Fancy hotel charging for wifi is one of my pet peeves. Just a blatant ripoff.

They do it with their conferences too. His IT guy just tells them no we are not gonna pay for that.

Now I’ve started thinking of place names that don’t paint a pretty picture, and there are several glaring ones just within 10 miles or so in this county- two miles upriver is the site of a small sawmill and settlement in the mid 1800’s-a pretty landmark called Mormon Bluff-it was the scene of one of the bloodiest Indian massacres in the county’s wild west history.

About 8 miles away is a country lane that winds around a hill-the road sign says “Starvation Hill”-no one I’ve asked knows who-or what-starved up there, when, or why.

There is a Lovers’ Leap Road-along a cliff over the river, of course-a Ghost Lane that winds through a dark ravine with trees covered in wild grape vines on either side, a Hellsgate Road-and in the community just across the river, the only way in or out is a treacherous one-lane track winding up the steep hill by the dam, aptly named Suicide Road...

You have to wonder who came up with this stuff...
