Rollin' in the Rondo. Chronicles of Loveland, Vol. 1

Greetings from Loveland, Colorado! I'm here for a business trip and blogging from a hotel room.
My day started out pretty normal, but as soon as I landed in Colorado, it became a little weird.
I picked up my rental car at the Hertz location, which was located about 8 miles from the terminal. I got there by train and bus.
I had to wait in line for a while, when I got up to the counter, the lady asked me if I wanted an SUV. I was like, "No thanks, I'll take a Corrolla." She said that was fine, but then told me I could upgrade to a minivan for free. I told her no thanks again.
I signed my contract and went to the car. But doth my eyes deceive me?!?!

A Kia Rondo? A minivan?
I don't have anything against minivans, but I'd prefer a Corrolla 8 days out of the week.
I went back inside and asked for a Corrolla, but the manager told me a minivan is a mid-sized car...whatever.
As I drove to Loveland from Denver, I noticed that everybody drives like 20 miles per hour over the 75 MPH speed limit.
No big whup. But then there was a traffic accident and everybody stopped. Then people started crossing over the grass area dividing the highway to get to the frontage road!
I took a look around, and there is absolutely fucking nothing out here!
How could all these assholes be in such a hurry?
Anyway, I finally got on the stretch of highway leading to my work's offices.
This is where I was tailgated by a white minivan while going 90 MPH. It must have been some stockbroker traveling to get one last trade in before Wallstreet closed.
So, I got over, and as the minivan passed, a teenage kid sitting in the passenger seat flipped me off!
What the fuck? Was this douche jealous 'cause I was rollin' in a rondo made his ride looked busted?
Probably, but I have not been in Colorado long enough to know how Colorado-ins operate. However, my first observation is that they seem mostly retarded.
So what, went to work and did some stuff. Later, I saw a rabbit in the parking lot and a dead groundhog in the road.
Checked into my hotel room; it's handicapped accessible and has a huge bathroom. There's even a seat to bath oneself while sitting down in the shower.

Ahh...the price of luxury!
Also: notice the phone, I shall order caviar or pizza from room service, while I doth bath.
The night got better. I ate a steak, drank a giant margarita and bought a children's toothbrush and some shaving cream.



I couldn't imagine a better day! I'm going to play some The Sims 2 and go to bed. See you tomorrow!
