Greetings from the Hotel of the Pagans.
We've got the whole place, with the exception of a few poor, unsuspecting cowans with preexisting reservations.
Now there's some sociology just waiting to happen.
Here's something interesting: I've been through every drawer in my room, and—Lady be praised—there's not a Gideon Bible in a single one of them.
(The Gideon Society is a group of spiritual imperialists with the motto “A Bible in every hotel room.”)
I can think of several possible explanations.
- My roommate already removed it. (I haven't asked her.)
- The Gideons don't do that anymore. (We should be so lucky.)
- The Gideons are still at it, but this hotel doesn't participate. (If so, good on them.)
- The hotel does participate, but has removed them for the occasion. (Sic semper tyrannis.)
Whichever it turns out to be, my name is Steven Posch and I approve this message.
And gods help those folks with the preexisting reservations.

Hooray! I also noticed the lack of pre-existing offensive religious literature in my room as well.
