It’s August. Wearing a suit and tie, I’m
reminded of how much I resent hotels that refuse to let me park free. I only
learned that the Casa Del Mar didn’t when the clerk declined to validate, and I
was stuck for $20. But the Casa Del Mar is on the beach where it’s cool enough
to walk a few blocks without suffering.
The Sheraton in Pasadena
is in Pasadena where it’s ten degrees warmer
than Los Angeles.
The average summer day in Los Angeles is
tolerable but opening the car door in Pasadena
is always a shock. Worse, I travel to the Pasadena Sheraton to see
Virgin-Atlantic crew who are British. Foreigners, Arabs excepted, believe that
air conditioning is bad for the health. When anyone gets sick, they turn it
off, so not only do I arrive at the hotel in a sweat but go about my business
in a hot room.
