Things That Make No Sense

As we travel through the country, we've laughed a number of times at the things in life that make no sense. Here are a few:



In our Grand Teton Lodge, the grand lobby has a huge 100 foot by 25 foot window overlooking the Tetons, and there is a ton to do in the park. This is a picture taken from the lobby...





Yet, at any hour when you walk in to the lobby, there are dozens of people, who moved heaven and earth to get to this spot, who are busy at work on their laptop computers! (Now, I'm one of them!)





In one of our hotels, there was a nice hot tub. But be careful, as this sign says, the spa hours are strictly enforced! Uh, just what were those hours again?









We thought we were seeing things. Notice the price of regular is listed second at $3.09 and Super gasoline is listed first for only $2.99. We thought this was a trick, yet, as it turns out, many, many gas stations in South Dakota shared this practice. We are guessing that it has to do with an ethanol subsidy which allows them to charge less for the ethanol-enhanced Super vs. the non-ethanol-enhanced regular.
