So a hotel question again:
When you stay in a hotel for more than 1 day, how often do you allow housekeeping to clean your room? Does it make a difference if you are staying in the room by yourself or with another person?
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

I allow them to every day, but generally hang my towel(s) on the shower rod for re-use if it's just a 2 or 3 day stay.

I have a pot on the patio in which lemon balm and oxalis are battling it out. Should be interesting.
Groceries=bought! And I found the charger for my jumpstarter, so I can do that tonight. Sadly, the Ace hardware by the grocery store is no more and I will have to go to Home Depot at some point for plumbing supplies, once I decide how much plumbing I have to do before I can turn on the swamp cooler (it'll work as it is now, it just drips a lot both at the faucet and overflows at the reservoir)

I'm sorry about Jeeves, Anne.
Good luck with the horehound and lemon balm, gardeners. I don't know from hore hound, but lemon balm is tough.
I went on a farm tour with amyth and a couple of other friends. We got to feed baby goats! Totally worth rambling around in intermittent showers. I also bought a couple of duck eggs, which I'd never had before. I poached one for dinner and served it on sour dough toast and lightly steamed spinach. It was delicious.

Anne, the renovation is lovely! It's a very beachy room.

If anyone has not watched the PBS documentary on the Central Park Five, I highly recommend it. There are only three days left, because it is Ken Burns (although it is not very Ken Burns-y, probably because his daughter wrote it) I have just been reading "Our Boys" [link] which is a look at how and why white suburban "jocks" were protected after they gang raped a mentally challenged girl. What a contrast!

Those are violas, sarameg. They're related to pansies, but smaller.
