News and notes from around the interweb:
- Most airport noise complaints are bogus. Now people are automating the complaint process so they can submit hundreds of complaints with the push of a button.

- Fun!
HAPPY TRAVELS! An @AlaskaAir employee took a couple minutes to entertain a little boy through the plane's window before the family's flight from @SeaTacAirport this week. ✈

- A couple of weeks ago I noted legacy Starwood hotels getting copies of the Book of Mormon and now the Associated Press has picked up on this too. They generally go in a drawer rather than a bathroom and Marriott has no problem removing banned booked from their hotels.
Some brands, however, are holier than others. Starwood’s 50 W hotels — one of the first chains to sell “intimacy kits” that include condoms — won’t get the books. Neither will the 140 independently owned Design Hotels, most of which are in Europe. Marriott’s youth-focused Moxy brand and its luxury Edition brand also don’t have the books in their rooms.
…Hotels in certain locations — such as Vietnam and Indonesia — also don’t have a Bible or a Book of Mormon because it might be considered inappropriate, Marriott said. In those places, hotels have the option to provide a card in the room that tells guests to call the front desk if they would like religious materials.

I purchased flights from KOA on Tuesday 8/21 for the same day – $275
The Bible and book of Moron are both fake news. It’s unfortunate that Marriott’s founder and owners want to spread fake news. Another reason why I switched to Hyatt and Hilton after the merger.
No Book of Mormon in W Hotels because they have intimacy kits?
That’s so unfair. After all, Mormonism was based around pedophiles and polygamists. No books of Mo in Indonesia where child brides are too common?
@Ray Did you know a Chinese conglomerate owns 25% of Hilton? Best skip Radisson which is now owned by the Communist party of Shanghai.
No Book of Mormoney at W Hotels because they have intamacy kits?
But, Mormonism is based on sex; the disgusting pedophile type and child brides.
Soon, connecting room requests will have priority for sister-wives who hold the secretive (unpublished) Preferred Parent Platinum level with $25’000 in annual tithings to the Church.
I don’t have the bandwidth to worry about the Book of Mormon. I’m still trying to figure out when the SPG/Marriott merger will be done and show correct account information. My SPG is still missing everything from 7/18 on, so missing 14 nights at this point. Frustrating!
Hey all, please watch your negative and stereotyped comments. I’m a Mormon, if you have any questions please direct them to me and I’ll gladly share with you what we believe. Your statements above only reflect ignorance, I’d hope you’re above that.
