QUIRKY TRAVEL NOTE
(Thursday) My hotel room came with a small refrigerator ("mini-bar") stuffed with beer and liquor (and candy). I don't know what any of it costs but I'm certain that I don't want to pay for anything in there (no prices to be found anywhere in the room. If you have to ask then it's out of your budget). So, as usual I'm ignoring the frig -- except I've added a few of the sodas that I bought at the Target store across the street.

Anyway, the quirky thing that I've never seen before is that the frig has an automatic lock on it. Since Minnesota law prohibits the sale of booze after 1 a.m. the frig automatically locks itself until 8 a.m. Isn't technology wonderful?
