I stayed at the Watergate Hotel! NaBloPoMo Day 7

 

All the toiletries are branded "Watergate"
at the Watergate Hotel!

Good for them, they are marketing the shit out of 1972 and I can tell you that with evidence -- you should see how many emails with "Watergate" in the subject line I got from them since checking out of the Watergate Hotel last week. 

My feeling of being in the midst of a bugging situation continued though after band night the other day when Kelly showed us a hair dryer curler thing her mom bought her from Temu:

An innocent hair dryer curler thing

except here's the side of the box:

ummm, there's an FCC warning?

"(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and,
 (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation."

What? Was is this, am I back at the Watergate Hotel? The hair dryer curler thing isn't even branded "Watergate" in any way!!

Anyway, the Watergate Hotel complex is f*ing gigantic.

Apparently you can visit the actual room where the Watergate bugging incident took place, but it was in a different building than we were in and yeah. I was on a work trip and actually working. So.
