The Silicon Graybeard

In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. The focus of this blog is on doing things, from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of things, along with comments from a retired radio engineer, that run from tech, science or space news to economics; from firearms to world events.

Why I Prefer Hotels

This appeared a few days ago (and, yeah, turns out it really is a rerun - note the date, lower left) and I had to save it. For when I just can't think of a freakin' cogent thing to write about!

I don't know how common this is; I've run across people who talk about the wonderful B&B they stayed in. Personally, I prefer anonymity. This sums it up pretty well.

Agree completely.

I've stayed in a couple of B&B's, and besides the "Ho-Hum" factor about "the experience", I was never comfortable.

I don't mind chatting with people voluntarily, but I don't like being forced by social convention to pretend I'm interested in people I've never met.

Give me the chain hotels. Friendly and impersonal.

Aah, but at b&b's, i don't need to present a picture ID, a credit card or other such nonsense. FRN's are openly welcomed. Therein exists the anonymity factor.
