Google maps thing is freaking me out. I can see my kitchen.
Except that the pictures are old. There are empty lots where there are now buildings and buildings where there are now empty lots.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Up with the sun
I guess I feel the same way about hotel bedspreads as I do about public toilets: they probably aren't terribly clean, but nobody's ever gotten sick just by sitting on one. (And if you were the one person who did, please don't tell me, 'kay?)
But my germ paranoia is a little different than most people's. I don't worry so much about the germs antibacterial products will kill; I worry about the growing number of ones that are impervious to them, and will therefore mutate and take over the world and kill everything, except cockroaches and maybe Cher.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Huh. My city is merely the grid/map, not satellite photos. Which I think I'm cool with.

I wonder if the Puppy Channel is by the guy profiled on TAL who was trying to get one started.
Emmett's nose cast is sitting on my computer. Emmett is in school. He is clear to play baseball by next Monday (though I'll insist he only play catcher with face-mask, and outfield - where few kids can hit it in the air - for the first game.)
Airplane sex, eh? Never did that. Never could even figure out how you did that despite it being chronicled in Xaviera Goes Wild - The Happy Hooker Goes Around The World In Eighty Ways. I guess I can see the bathroom upright approach, but those bathrooms are teeny.

If I only had a brain...
I think the question is more pointedly -- have you ever not had sex in a hotel?
Many, many times. Is there a club I can join?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

According to the article, it is, and he's still looking for funding.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm not having sex in a hotel right now!!!

It is, the story I linked to talks about that.

To the upper right of the map there's a link to click for the sattellite photos.

I am not germphobic at all. Well, a little antsy around sick babies - then I'll do some OCD handwashing, but that's by hard experience. But generalized hotel stuff? Nah. I'm a strong believer in keeping my immune system strong by fending off constant assaults by Warg Riders bacteria.

I cleaned hotel rooms when I was younger. The sheets are fine. It's the comforter you really want to not touch your bare skin. IJS.
Amen. I've been stupefied that several guys I've hooked up with were completely unaware of the ookiness of hotel bedspreads. The looks on their faces when I tell them "odds are someone's changed a diaper on that comforter since it was last cleaned" are priceless.
