Just been Googling, it was Williams, in what is now a Travelodge but I'm sure wasn't when we were there.
We did stop and wander around Flagstaff.
And somewhere else famous for hats and clothing.

I stayed in a 1960's style Motel on route 66 a few years ago on the way back from the Canyon to my Son's house in Scotsdale AZ.
My room had a window or through wall A/C, I gave in and turned it off after a couple of hours only to then have to listen to a freight train nearby go over gaps in the rails with what seemed like hundreds of wagons behind it.
Followed by a few people who thought it was a good idea to have a splash around at 3 in the morning in the swimming pool that my room was above.
Didn't sleep much that night.

I see these mini air conditioners cost twice as much in Blighty than we can buy them for. I wonder why that is??
Shipping cost, Import Duty, VAT and the small volume sold, compared to the U.S

There is a continuous route of light controlled crossings to get from the 3 Ponds side across to the opposite side of the island onto the old Nottngham Road.
The subway appears to still be there, across the middle of the island from the right side of the 3 Ponds side.

I've had a few blood extractions for tests in the last couple of years and it's always been as Margie, "just a small scratch".
What they don't say is, depending on who does it, it's either absolutely no brusing or bruising that can take a few weeks to disappear.-

I worked for a maintenance company in the 90's that had MOD contracts (via 3rd parties).
They had to adopt BS5750, then later ISO 9001 etc, in order to continue working on those contracts, that meant of course that the whole company including the contract I worked on (not MOD) had to adopt it.
In the end it most of the major companies had it as a condition of tendering.

Similar thinking here Bk.
I'm expecting to be driving down the road one day and to be met by a host of riderless e-Scooters coming towards me.
You can tell by the way they gather that they've got evil intent planned.

Person / Woman / Man in a van drives around and changes the batteries, presumably the E scooter reports its battery state to it's control centre. I've seen someone doing it.
I'd assume it's probably the same person who collects up the excess scooters at any location and moves them to places they know there is greater demand.
They're all tracked so they know exactly how many are in any location and the demand at any location.

Just watched Sherwood episode 3.
I'm going to have to see the series to the end now, I need answers.
The plot or rather plots, thicken.
-
I watched episode 1 and 2 of Sherwood on i-Player last night.
If I'd only watched episode 1 when first broadcast I'd have probably not continued with the series.As Engineer I was confused over the time it was set in, firstly by the interior design of the modern houses, then the Smartphones, and thinking the producers had messed up, but the 70 plate car and other modern vehicles convinced me it's set recently.
I remember the new Bride death and the searching in Annesley woods but not the crossbow in the street death.
I can see the reasoning for the series as it covers the most unlikely 2 unrelated deaths in a short period in a community that has continuing issues from the past with the added potential past / present issue of Covert Policing.
I worked with former Notts and former Yorks miners in my final 25 years of employment and to say there was resentment up to the present day (or when I last saw them) was an understatement.
I was also living in Bilsthorpe, Notts at the time of the strike and had to regularly pass though Police anti picket road blocks to get home. Bilsthorpe pit worked through the strike as did Gedling where my Father in Law worked.

Sadly no Barrie but his widow appears to still be around,
From Nottm Live,
Jennifer added: "It's a little gem which was part of Nottingham's history that was quite important to the city for a long time. It would be a shame for it to be hidden away and lost and we are potentially opening it up to the public in a fun way."
There will be three themed escape rooms at the site, named Judges Escape Emporium as a nod to the bakery which was built in 1860 and taken over by C.W. Judge in 1889. The bakery, which had no drainage, moved to Mapperley in 1912 but shop above remained open selling bread and cakes until 1992 when the fourth generation owner Barrie Judge - the son of a city councillor - retired.
His widow Wendy Judge, of Colwick, described the new venture as "wonderful". She said: "I think it is most imaginative and they are full of ingenuity. It's a delight to behold after so long of trying to find the right people to take it on. We never wanted it to be spoilt. We always felt it was Nottingham history.
Mrs Judge's collection of old black and white photographs of the bakery will be going up on the wall. They include a display of cakes for the Queen's Coronation in the shop window.

B.K
Escape room is where a group of (usually strangers) are locked in a room and to Escape they have to solve a set of clues which lead to releasing the door lock or way out.
The rooms usually have a theme of some sort either to confuse or assist clue solving.
Rooms have different levels of difficulty and people pay for the privelidge.
Some companies use them for "Team building"
I've never done one, not interested, but have watched a couple of films based on the idea.
They seem to getting popular in the U.K now, just an example,

The property with the sign on is 155 Woodthorpe Drive, where Judges bakery was.
The property that the photographer is standing by is 1 or 3 Plains Rd, that would have been where Hudsons was, so 2 separate businesses?
Maybe Hudsons moved out of 155 and into 3.
Maybe no.1 was the Household stores?

Whatever was used to over paint the original sign appears to have washed off or faded away, leaving only the original and later black lettering.
In chronological order of painting it appears to have said,
HUDSON'S
HOUSEHOLD
STORES
Then either modified to,
HUDSON'S
HOUSEHOLD STORE
or to
JUDGES
HOUSEHOLD STORE
I can't imagine why Hudsons would have just changed the bottom line so suspect that Judges Household Store was more likely.

Personally I can see a severe shortage of willing candidates, whether honourable, qualified or whatever, stepping up if there is an election for a new Leader / P.M.
For a mere £80k on top of their M.P salary, less tax, plus rent free flat, they'll have to;
Remove any Minsters and other Government Officials and Party workers that they won't be able to work with or who had expressed their support for the current P.M.
AND find willing replacements.
In no particular order,
Continue sorting out remaining Brexit issues,
Continue sorting out Covid issues including economic fallout from it,
Continue sorting out the Ukraine / Russia issue and current economic fallout from it.
And future economic fallout whether the issue continues, or is or is not resolved amicably.
And not forgetting the normal day to day Government work.
And also not forgetting they're on call 24/7/365(6)

Chicks having rings fitted a couple of days ago, gives you an idea of how big they actually are at around 3 weeks old.
