Our question to you is, why did you think it was OK to steal rocks out of Rose Canyon to build your rock wall?— August 3, 2008 10:44 a.m.
A Great Escape
Recently I had one of those sweet opportunities to help a couple of ladies about my own age who asked "Is this the Hyatt restaurant?" as they pulled up to the walkway to....what's it called? They asked if I could help get the wheelchair out of the trunk? Happy to and was also to push one up the ramp as her friend hobbled progressively getting more winded and overheated. I'm not so sure that ramp would pass the ADA guidelines. In we go....greeted by a hostess that had a horrified look of "Oh no, a wheelchair....where am I going to put them in this 1/5 occupied restaurant?! Whatever shall I do?" "Inside or out?" Probably cooler inside, right? WRONG. No Air conditioning. No Way! Yup, way. Sun glares there from sunup to sundown and no air conditioning. (Who's the knucklehead that missed that one?) So out we go to the patio.... I got my new appreciative "friends" settled in, and off I went to explain to the hostess that the look of horror, even though she was not aware of it,was perhaps not the best greeting. I hope she'll remember that when my dear friend, his wheelchair and I come in. Ha ha! I'm only joking... I won't be going there any time soon.— June 28, 2008 4:06 p.m.
