You know, for a hotel/motel that seems to cater to the outdoorsy/mountainbike/cool dude demographic, there sure seem to be a lot of screaming kids and barking dogs. There’s a big deposit for pets in the room, which someone seems to have paid, and I’m not sure but I think the screaming kids and barking dog are all in the room next to us, which adjoins ours and thus has no soundproofing to speak of owing to the connecting door.

All I’m saying is there’s a whole lot of squabbling, screaming, and barking going on. David says they’re in one of the suites that has a kitchen. Damn, I should have asked about other types of rooms when I called in to book.

Well, they seem to be settling down to a dull whine… I will be ever vigilant for noise incursions the rest of the night, though. Constant vigilance!
