Good morning, GoGo. It's 73 in Louisville, going to 82. Expecting more thunderstorms this afternoon and evening. Most of my flowers and veggies are loving the frequent showers, I'll say that.
My big lesson learned yesterday is that the people who survived the Chinese Flu and then took the vaccine have lost their minds. Sorry if that offends, but it may be true. What has me stirred up is that I got in touch with the owner of an old farmhouse near Pigeon Forge, TN, where Cindy and I stayed in October 2019. We booked through AirBnB at $103 a night for five nights, plus about $200 in various fees and charges. I contacted the property's owners yesterday and they've raised the price for this October to $160 a night, plus those same fees. That's a 60% increase in two years. I thought they were nuts, so I checked out other prices in the area for that same time and they've ALL gone crazy. So, I figured, OK, we'd prefer to be out on our own, but I'll just check hotel prices. If anything, they've been raised even higher than the cabin prices. Two and three-star hotel rooms are running $175-$200 a night, or more. Some of y'all are business owners, so I'm asking for your take on this. What I've always thought would be a crazy stupid price hike apparently isn't, and I don't get it.
Glad to see some of us are getting out and trying to whack varmints. You'll nail those whistle pigs next time, Charlie. And congrats on giving that one pup a little air time, even if it wasn't fatal.
Scott, when we marry our brides, we also marry their families, like it or not. Sorry you're having such a crappy time dealing with a FIL's septic tank that doesn't even need to be pumped. As for doing the power wash on the home that's gonna be sold, I'm sure both the Realtor and the benefactors of the sale will thank you profusely. 😉
Y'all have a good'n, be safe, and remember to pray for our members with health issues and for our nation.
