The Angry Chinese Lady and the Overpriced Motel Room.

Tweet

It seems I often wind up in line behind someone buying lottery tickets. I wait. I check prices of candy bars. I watch soccer on the TV screen. By the time I got to West Yellowstone, on the Wyoming/Montana border, it was dark and pouring rain. I was not going to drive the winding road through the Gallatin River Gorge in the dark and driving rain. I get depressed sometimes, but I am not suicidal. Two people in front of me at the motel was an angry woman shouting at the desk clerk. She had not realized that tax would be charged on her motel bill. After five minutes, when I heard the clerk say, "There's a less expensive motel down the road. It's only $200 per night," I got out of line and went back to my truck. I thought I would be sleeping there. As a last gasp, I stopped at another motel. "We don't have any rooms, but you can stay in a room that's like a cabin, with no heat or air conditioning. It's closed down for the Winter." It was 68 degrees F out and still raining. Perfect sleeping weather. "Is there hot water in the shower?" "Yes." To be continued...I have to get to work... I asked how much,and she said $100. She repeated that the room was really humble and small. I said I did not mind. I will attach a photo I took of the room I stayed in. It was an absolute delight!. I culd live there! It actually reminded me of the work I've done on the interior of my Montana cabin. Are some of those foreign tourists a bit "spoiled"?
