i am now damn well aware

of why Fripp calls p.a. music in hotel breakfast rooms "noise pollution".  i utterly pissed off 3 people here 'cause i was having to yell to try to talk on the phone with someone @ work while here.  the business center is open-air embedded within the breakfast bistro, and there's little carpet so all the loud music double-echos.  pain and misery of the inner ear canal.

at least our room was facing away from I-8 and was reasonably quiet...
