Oh Canada!
Strathmore……. What a crazy place. I’m here in Strathmore Alberta recruiting for summer staff at Covenant Bible College. This week started with an early morning drive up to Trinity Western, I spent the night in Langley before heading down to the Inn at Bellingham on Tuesday. Yesterday I started the day at Seattle Pacific University before catching a 9pm Horizon Air flight to Calgary. I had to wait over an hour to catch my cab that would take me to the small town of Strathmore, and I checked into the hotel at 1:30am.
Between Mid-Winter, TWU, and here at CBC I’ve been spending lots of time in hotel rooms. I’ve decided that when I get home, I’m changing all my locks to key cards and will make sure there is ALWAYS an ice machine at my disposal. It seems like every hotel in the world is using key cards, but I don’t think anyone has one at their house….talk about convenient, you lose your key, just code another one! Any a wallet full of key cards would be so much better than a pocket full of dangerous pointy keys. Why aren’t all refrigerators made with ice makers? What is this, the middle ages? Best Western has made sure that no matter what time of the day it is, my water will never be lukewarm. I think this is just reason #106 that hotels are better than houses… number 107 is the free breakfast (if you like muffins & juice).
I’m off to stash the mini shampoo in my duffel bag.
Now who taught you that? How about the soap?
No towels now, nor the hair dryer
see, i honestly never understood why all hotels have ice. Why ice? But I guess i’m not accustomed to the finer things in life that hotels provide, like ice, weird fuzzy blankets, and tourist magazines.
