I first thought of fishnets... Only for NH remind me what the fish pants actually are.

As someone that used to work for a major historic hotel downtown I can confirm this is true.

I think I know where you're staying. Does it look like it belongs in an 80s horror movie?
LOL. Ouch.
EDIT: Hmm… Google Maps shows the Lost Coast as being 265 miles south of us back in California. But 101 runs along the beaches of the Oregon coast for many miles, then we’re passing through Tillamook and Hi says we could easily lose a day there.
We’ll be getting to Astoria late, I’m sure, but I think we’ll make it at least an hour north before we do any really long stops.
And sunburn? Really? While traveling north, wearing a hat, and covering up? Grr…
I've gone that route it's a fun drive! Super weird places all over Oregon! Which is why Gravity Falls is set there.

Hi: Something's wrong. Ever since we crossed the border into Oregon, every time I've seen a dispensary, there's been a Starbucks right nearby. But we just passed a dispensary and... Oh! There's the Starbucks! The balance is restored! The people of Oregon really have their s*** together.

And if any of you Facebook you should follow Shiro's feed. He's doing a photojournal of the whole thing. I assume you're reading it, LM?
(And yes, Shiro just texted LM a video of a giant poutine we had with dinner. Shiro is evil.)

Yes, but it was a very entrancing video. It had light flare effects and everything.
Sigh.
Shiro is my favorite kind of evil. Hi is my other favorite kind of evil (pretends to be, totally isn't, just a good hearted doof). I miss those guys.

I'm just surprised it was a Starbucks and not a Dutch Brothers.

We’ve been staying in “routine” places to keep the costs down. It was just Impus Major being Impus Major.

Success!
I managed to unpack the suitcase Teensy Valeros had packed for himself, cleaned and reorganized his dresser, and re-packed the suitcase, IN FRONT OF HIM, without him arguing or pitching a fit.
And then I removed the suitcase to my own room so he can't add to or subtract anything from it in the next four days.
I am a freaking rockstar.

That's why I call myself an artiste. People don't mind paying extra if it's upscale and nothing is more upscale than French. Admittedly, people in the Midwest don't get out of the Midwest very often to verify this so it doesn't matter that I wasn't classically trained in France (though I was classically trained in Seattle (there are classically trained, who have a well rounded education of everything landscaping, and specialize trained, those are people that only focus on one or two aspects of landscaping and that's it. I'm pretty much the only one who is considered classically trained).

About half of my life can be described as jetlag without travelling.
Basically, my body and mind tend to go out of sync with the day-night cycle at a drop of a hat (and I don't even have a hat), multiple times a year.
gran can confirm or deny, but, "We can't give you a rollaway cot because putting one in a room with two queen beds violates the fire code," sounds a lot like, "I'm betting you're not going to take, "It's against hotel policy," for an answer, so I'm making stuff up to pass the blame on to someone else."
Another reason people hate the government -- it gets the blame for stuff it doesn't do as well as what it does do.

It is against code here. Probably other places, too. Most rooms aren't big enough to put the rollaway in there without making it difficult (or impossible in some hotels I've worked at) to actually get past them and to the door (or bathroom).
That being said, we still sometimes give them out anyways, and it's very possible that the person who said that to you was taking advantage of the law in order to be lazy.
Most definitely being lazy.
That said, yes it's true about the fire code.
Personally, I blame the roaring 20s! I've been watching a bunch of disaster documentaries on YouTube and most of the large hotel fires happened in the 20s (at least anecdotally).

My day today will involve building a wall and wrestling with drain tile.

Two extra sets of bedding folded up and put on the floor will make a floor reasonably comfortable to sleep on. Probably more comfortable than the rollacot. Less easy to get up off the floor though

Me: *stops to pick up a hitchhiker*
Hitchhiker: "Thanks, I really appreciate it. Most people won't stop because they're afraid I'm a serial killer or something."
Me: "Ha ha. Oh, no, I'm not worried. The odds of there being two serial killers in a car are astronomical."
Hitchhiker: "Ha ha....what?"
Stopped on the freeway to help with a flat tire.
"Mom, what the heck that guy could be a serial killer"
"Oh dear no, if he was anywhere near a murder the cops would have picked him up in 15 minutes flat. Serial killers look normal, like your boyfriend..."
(I am aware that was a comic bit, but it is also my life)

I brought two backpacking mats and two sleeping bags so the kids can sleep pretty much anywhere (including the back of the minivan on the longer drives), but we gave Impus Major the choice and he asked for a rollaway if they had one. I'd take the floor over a rollaway every time. Creaky, uncomfortable things they are.
