What sort of hotel/motel doesn't furnish a hair dryer for its guests? This is not a riddle with a funny answer. It may not even be a question with an answer. Is the answer "a no-tell motel"? Is the answer "a place you found on Airbnb"? I don't know.
Do I care about the answer? Do I care about the argument of blow dry vs. natural dry? I remember having shorter hair that took very little time to shampoo & also never was dried by blow.
At this point, I am feeling a bit awkward. "Blow dry" is a real thing. "Dry by blow" is not. In fact, "dry by blow" sounds dirty. I apologize. It was not my intention. I was attempting a kind of parallelism of the clauses in the last sentence but it's obvious now that I should have said "to shampoo & never to blow dry." Much more parallel. Still awkward.
But now I've said it, & I can't take it back. That is one of life's vagaries. Or do I mean vicissitudes? Or am I just thinking of pretty words that begin with the letter v?
Today I let my hair dry naturally. I was too lazy to pull out the blow dryer. But normally I blow dry my hair. In two weeks, I'll be in another country far from here where it'll be quite humid & I wonder if the hotel/motel I am staying at will have a hair dryer. Also, whether, with 100% humidity, it will really matter.
It occurs to me that I am writing this on a computer & I could simply delete the awkward sentences up there. I could also xkc0[qd]P

Sorry about that! A wasp just landed on my keyboard & I was trying to alternately avoid it & also kill it. It got away. I don't know how it got into the house.
My cat Boone has captured & eaten it. He tells me, since when a cat captures & eats an insect it gains all its life experience, that wasps are frightened by blow dryers. Since the wasp did not hear the blow dryer today, he assumed it was safe to come into the house.
I think he's fucking with me.
