One, it's a slippery slope from country music to screamo and not much slide in between. My ears actually hurt. Two, the hotel has a wonderful hot tub that is usually unused except when me and my broken foot limp along. I have been reading and pondering and thoroughly enjoying the warmth and solidtude. </span></div></div></div></blockquote><p> </p><blockquote style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Until tonight. Tonight, after a full day of intense discussion about human trafficking, copious note taking and irregular brain function, i was looking forward to the heat and solitude of the hot tub. As i entered the holy (non religious holy) space THERE WAS A MAN IN THE HOT TUB. I had a tiny Clash moment (should I stay or should I go now) and ya gotta know, I stayed. I fully intended for silent communal bathing, and then my mouth suddenly and unexpectedly opened. </span></div></div></div></blockquote><blockquote style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" type="cite"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: medium;">Lo and behold, dude is a not too shabby looking RCMP officer.
