Door Locks?

So why does my room at the Tulsa Hampton have a keyed lock on the door?

While the room across the hall doesn't.

And who controls the keys?

80 Million Minutes

This is a depressing number if you need to fly to make your living. The US Government tracked six million flights in 2014 and found them late a net 80 million minutes. Small wonder we all have that strange feeling of euphoria when our flight arrives that rare ten minutes early.

Note to Hampton Inn....

Beer is Dead

Found Money

Am I the only person who gets satisfaction from finding money in the drier? I know it was already my money, but when it's found in the drier, it was unexpected. It's almost free. ;)

Conewango Creek is Pennsylvania's 2015 River of the Year

The Conewango Creek in our home county of Warren was recently voted the Pennsylvania River of the Year for 2015. The quiet beauty of the Conewango begs for a visit whether you like to paddle, to look for eagles, or find a geocache or two. Many congrats to our friend Liz who has been tireless in her support of this treasure through conservation and clean-up efforts!

Waving the Flags?

Wow, W.B. Mason must be a serious flag-waving, made-in-America, old time company. Well, maybe not. Four Old Glorys and Red, White, and Blue print all over the wrapper of their paper doesn't cover the small Made in China mark in the lower right, rear corner of the back side of the package. I understand globalization is a reality, but wrapping your imported products in red,white, and blue seems hypocritical. It's one thing to sell imported products, but branding imported products in the flag is low.
