Now where?

The bed in the room of the ExtendedStay Hotel in Carlsbad, California, USA has been repaired now.
That took 4 nights of unbalanced sleeping before a mechanic showed up to fix the problem.



Two more issues pestering in the room in the ExtendedStay Hotel cannot be resolved though.

In the room is WIFI.
The option to get on the Internet.
However, ExtendedStay Hotel offers this service for a price.
A guest has to pay for it.
Rather unusual for a room that already costs about $ 80 a night without any service of cleaning, bed making and no soap and shampoo.
The most irritating though is that the provided WIFI is extremely slow.
Too slow to use SKYPE to make international phone calls and see TV from a website.



The other irresolvable issue is the bread toaster.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the kitchenette is equipped with a bread toaster.


But it is a primitive one that toasts bread only on one side.
It means that a slice of bread is put in.
It toasts on one side.
It comes out.
And next it has to be put back to toast the other side of the slice of bread.

Now maybe we may ask if these issues described are of any relevance and importance?
Of course in a posting every little detail of life can be extensively described, but does that really matter?
Who cares that a bread toaster in an American hotel room is of outdated technology?

Whether it matters is a very good question.
Presumably not many people have any interest whatsoever in a primitive bread toaster somewhere in a hotel room in California, USA.

This describes quite accurately the current situation.
The usual position is to be in the centre of life and to expansively operate from there.
But now the creative and exploring photographer finds himself with a technically challenged bread toaster in a miserable hotel with turtle speed WIFI.
A situation miles away from the centre.
Pushed there by others.

Hellloooooooooooo.
Now in nowhere.
Where is somewhere?
