I hear from my brother-in-law doctor, that there are some really, really sick ones that he has treated, that are not all that lovely, to look at, smell, and I would imagine, feel. :-( Uggg! -- Jim in NC |

SR 71, Shul's writing, and a question.
Jay, have you seen some of the textbook prices at colleges lately?
Well over 100 is common. Why, you can almost buy a wingful of fuel for the price of a book (I offer that as a way for you to think about costs when son goes off to school). Good point. It always amazes me that I can buy the autobiography of Neil Armstrong for $6.98 at Barnes & Noble, or the story of the Enola Gay for $9.97, but a book on Pre-Calculus is over $100. To me, the value of these books is obviously inverted, but I suppose that's my bias towards a liberal arts degree showing... Since your Inn has been overbooked the last bunch of weekends, you can start saving for the books by increasing the rack rate a little! We NEVER overbook. Only bottom-feeding, scum-sucking big-box chains pull that kind of crap. Of course, in return, we actually expect people to show up -- and charge the crap out of them when they don't. But that's the trade off... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

"Overbooked" was a poor choice of a word, wait listed would have been
better phrase. The point about pricing is valid, though. If you consistantly are having requests for 30% more rooms than you physically have, adjusting the price upward would be profitable. Airlines base prices on demand, you offer an aviation themed facility. . . Some academic institutions are actually addressing the cost of text books. Unless the field is very dynamic, basic texts should be used for quite a few years. Dynamic fields and grad schools often use journal articles rather than books -- those fields are moving targets.
