San Francisco / 1
Firstly: Hilton San Francisco? USD 14 A DAY FOR INTERNET ACCESS?!? Practically every 2-3 star hotel in the area offers Wi-Fi net access for free, if only in their lobby. Trying to squeeze your customers for something that’s rapidly becoming a basic need when it’s offered at a number of places just one block from your hotel just inconveniences them and makes them irritable. Jeez....

Litany Against Fear
ennn:
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
