Paul is also an accomplished storyteller. Here's a sample:
At a place in British Columbia during dinner they would have to climb on the dining room table every half-hour or so to pump up the gas lights. "When I arrived," they said, "We just painted the privy, so use the woods. Just stay away from the river--That's the wash water!." The Place was heaven after sleeping in the truck for a couple of weeks.
Here's another story:
One night at the Pitkin Hotel during dinner--Pitkin, Colo., an old stone hotel at 10K feet, four miles East of the Divide--the well pump quit. The basement is only accessed through through a large trap door with a big brass ring, right under the table.
Picture a sinking ship! All the passengers on deck in a panic while the sailors are scurrying around below to see just how far the iceberg has torn open the hull. The pump was in an old open well in a small cold cellar used to store the hard stuff, before gun fights were outlawed in the mid-1950's.
The good news is they found the owners cat. It had been missing for a week. That was fortunate. The unexpected appearance one day of the former fluffy--rising out of the bowels of the hotel under the dining room table . . . That might have cut into the dessert sales!

We well remember the visitor who complained about the unpleasant glare from the HTML default royal blue links. That lead us to entirely revamp our background and link colors, making them softer, more eye pleasing. And the Florida expert who warned us about frustrating visitors with blind links. We followed his advice and now carefully identify links so visitors know before they "click" exactly where they're clicking to. Your comments or suggestions will be equally appreciated.
