Public Service Announcement: Think of Your Driver

We got a call at 3:30 this morning from the apologetic desk clerk at the posh resort on the mountain. She was sorry to bother us so late, but did we happen to have a room available? One of their guests had arrived by hired car and had failed to reserve a room for the drivers.

As it turns out, due to last-minute cancellations (funny how highs in the 50s and chance of rain brings out the illnesses), we did have a room available, but what on earth would this man have done if it had been a typical President's Week, when every bed in the Valley is full?

We see this at least once a winter, usually with bus drivers. Yes, people, even the help needs to sleep.
