Guess someone was a little careless, and the SUV was just a bit
top-heavy.... I'd guess just a one-car accident....

There are several car crash video sites on You Tube.
All to often when an SUV is involved in an accident they tend to tip over
or go belly up. In general sedans don't.

My bottom line is avoiding hassles wherever possible... ;)

Words to live by. :)

I used the booking.com app on the phone

(the first place you saw...?)

I used the app on the road but the first two at home on the pc. That was
the main reason for my rushing about at first, knowing that often if one doesn't check in by a certain time the room is rented to someone else. The reservations are made on line but p
Mostly I just stopped at the first decent motel I came across.
Sometimes if near a big town or popular tourist site I would check
booking to find what was a available and prices.
Funny event happened.
I was in Roswell, NM and booked a room about an hour before check in.
The clerk was rather suspicious for some reason.
My debit card has my first name, then Joe, then Mackey.
The clerk eyed me, then the cards (along with my drivers license which is needed everywhere) and asked why there were different names on them.
I told him that was me.
Why does this (debit card) read "Joe" and the license J? I said Joe is
my middle name.
Again it was look at the cards, check my photo against my standing there
and again asked "Is this you?"
It was so funny with his questioning me in his East Indian accent.
Another strange thing happened often.
I would have to sign in on one of those screens and sometimes it looked merely like a squiggly line, but it was always accepted. :)

it happened again, joe... i counted and there's 222 characters... that's 33 short of the common 255 character buffer seen in years past... i am thinking that it is a long line problem... something you might try would be to hit enter at the end of each line like we had to do when using typwriters... go no more than maybe 65 or 70 characters, hit enter and type the rest of the line... it is an idea to try...

i'll get that info to you today about connecting to my system again... yesterday just got involved in other things and midnight was here before we knew it...

And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was
so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected
up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing
the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn
it off.
