Our gardens are truly lovely and we are so proud of our landscaping.

So every Saturday or Sunday without fail, our next door neighborr hangs out her wash. The wash doesn't appear in the morning that would make too much sense.

Then the owners took some smart pills and announced that the hotel would also accept men. With that announcement the place was flooded with women wanting rooms. The hotel owner shouldn't have been surprised.

There is something depressing to a woman in being one of a crowd of women for in that crowd she has the feeling that she has lost her own identify. And just to add a little excitement to the over-all drabnes, when a bunch of women live together they form little cliques devoted to the sole purpose of talking about each other. It's depressing for a woman to be in such a clique and even more depressing not to be in one. But the scene brightens and changes for the better when there are a few men around.
