On our trip through Northern Cali last year, the EG and I stayed at a number of cheap motels, but we lucked out compared to you. The worst was a Motel 6 that insisted that even the non-smoking room had ashtrays, and when I complained about the smoke smell, they offered to spray the room. We asked to move--not that it helped much. The best cheap motel was the Susanville River Inn--not expensive, and down at the heels, but clean it was! Wow.

(I want one of those t-shirts, btw!) ...I'm not sure how different they are from Xanax Lady and Power-and-Privilege Man, however. Glad that you returned safely - and with your sense of humor in tact! May Henry do so, as well - and soon!
