you tell me anything about it? We need a place where we can cook. We
want a pool and want to be close to the ocean.

I just came back from getting lunch, walking at the excruciatingly
slow pace that is the norm in the Canal Street area in New York City.

I recently had dinner at San Francisco restaurant and the total bill for 4
people amounted to  about $160 including tips, which I put on my credit

walk through the doors of the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater

I am staying at hotels in Vancouver, Marriott / Best Western / Hilton
/ Holiday Inn. They all seem to require photo id on checkin. I am a
Canadian citizen. Is it a legal requirement for them to verify photo
ID, or is it just common practice in Canada? I have observed that

I was in a situation, or almost in a situation, and just want to
know... "What would have happened??"
