Absolutely! If 1967 is your birth year (rather than an homage to Canada’s Centennial), then you and I are only 6 days apart in age.

There are two (?) cats having a tremendous fight just outside my window, maybe even in my backyard. What a racket.
That’s right dummies, let the coyotes know exactly where to find you.
I do not understand why people in this neighbourhood let their cats roam at night. No good comes of it … based on the missing cat notifications on our community FB page.

I am in a hotel in Northern VA. There a fellow guests on my floor who must think they are the only guests on the floor. Last night after 11pm and now again this morning at 6:45am they were out in the hallway yelling to each other. Seemingly two in the hall and another family member maybe still in the room. I have experienced this before. How about anyone reading my words here...anyone have a story or thoughts on this subject?

Btw, we are taking our daughter to Liberty University for her final semester. She will be done as of December something or other. January 2024 will be the beginning of NO MORE COLLEGE PAYMENTS!
I've had that experiences too when staying in hotels off of I-95. When I call the front desk to give feedback they usually say they are the only ones working in the hotel and can't do much about it. Last thing I want to do is confront the yelling party , they could be drunk, high , or another case , armed.I am in a hotel in Northern VA.

Happy belated birthday, Mike!

In the past when Mike and I were doing out of town weekend gigs, we often overlapped with various sports teams staying in the same hotel. (Hockey players are the noisiest, basketball players are a close second.)I am in a hotel in Northern VA. They’re a fellow guests on my floor who must think they are the only guests on the floor.

It’s not the noise per se, but the kids constantly travelling from room to room, allowing the room doors to slam shut. I know they have early tournaments, based on their noisy departures at 6:00 and 7:00 am, so why the heck are they still slamming doors at 3:00 am?!?
Agree. Hockey players are loud. I remember when I went to school up North that the hockey team had 2am, or 5am practices before going to school at times at the county indoor ice rink. That was the times that they were allowed ice time to practice. Parents and kids must be really dedicated for that sport.

Realllllly dedicated! Have you ever gotten a whiff of a hockey bag?!?
It's going to be a hot one this week. We have heat advisories. The temps are in the upper 90s, and in the 100s on Wednesday and Thursday. Temps. Not heat index. Great way to go back to work in a non-air-conditioned building.
We're actually coming off some cooler weather. We were in the 60s and low 70s earlier this week.

Same for me including the on-air conditioned building. Oh and my new classroom doesn’t have any windows.
Windows don't help much when it's that hot. My windows lead out to a tiny enclosed courtyard, so I never get any breeze. And the windows are in what I call the "cubicle" of my classroom. Imagine my room as a big square. Then there's a random small square off the edge of the big square. The cubicle is the small square, so it's not the main part of the room. So even if I got a breeze, it just circulates that small square.
I realize that probably doesn't make sense unless you have seen what I'm talking about.

Sunset tonight at Liberty University. Our daughter is moved in and we are at a nearby hotel. We'll scoop her up in the morning to go to her requested brunch spot: WAFFLE HOUSE. Seriously...that's where she wants to go....oh yeah...here's the sunset over the stadium...

School starts here tomorrow and we too are having the same sort of temperatures and heat advisories … and Europe (meaning air conditioning is uncommon In general and non existent in schools. There was an article yesterday in our paper with the recommendations that have been given to the schools: hold classes outside in the shade. I feel very sorry for the kids and teachers.

Wait. No windows? At all?
I’ve never been in a classroom with no windows.
I can sort of understand old schools (with boilers and rads) not having a/c, but up here code would require operable windows. Newer schools often have fixed windows, but do have a/c.
And then there’s that sweet spot of schools built in the 70’s and 80’s that have both! All hail operable windows AND a/c!

I am sorry to hear about your heat advisories. My neighbours just got home from Greece. It was crazy hot there. They go every two years … it’s always crazy hot! Much of Europe functions without a/c. We in North America are quite spoiled.

You have shown us pictures of the room that included that "cubicle". Like you said that area has very little practical usage I suspect.

I wish I had a picture to show, but all this talk about heat, AC and windows brought back the memory of the barracks at our base in Bien Hoa, So. Vietnam. The outer walls were standard 2 by 4 construction that were top to bottom screens. The exterior looked like regular clapboard siding but the boards were attached at 45 degree angle. That kept out the sun and also provided for constant open air ventilation. Temps averaged about 90F in the winter and none of us wanted to know what it was in the summer. Then the monsoon season would drop massive amounts of water making the humidity seem like you were swimming.
I do not understand why Vietnam Veterans would ever want to vacation (tour) there, but they do. Hard to believe. The only good memory I have of that place is when I was in the plane, on the way home, and the pilot announced over the speakers "Gentlemen we have now reached the point of no return, we will not be going back." If you think you have heard loud cheering before, you wouldn't believe the noise in that airplane for that announcement.
