Along the Truckee River in Reno

At the Holiday Inn in Reno. It’s morning and I just stepped into an elevator. Woman inside asked if she was on the 15th floor. I told her there are only nine floors. “That’s OK, I always leave a big tip.” Hmmm. She said something about being in the field too long. Then as she walked into the lobby she muttered “just want to take a shower.” We’ve all been there.
