Say it loud, say it proud, blow dryers suck

Daughter Courtlynn – the 14-year-old – arrived from Canada last night for a last-minute weekend bonding session with Sorenne. And Amy. And me?

While waiting for Courtlynn’s plane to arrive in Kansas City – it’s not her plane, it’s Air Canada’s plane, but she was on it – we killed some time at the Zona Rosa outdoor mall near the airport. We found the restroom with the diaper-changing facilities and saw the biggest, eco-BS hand drying sign I’ve ever seen.

The friction from rubbing with paper towel is far more effective at reducing microbial populations than dispersing the bugs everywhere with a blow dryer that doesn’t really dry hands. The County health inspectors may want to check this out.

in hastings men's room there is a sign that says "sorry, we're out of paper towels. please feel free to use the hand dryer". the hand dryer is three feet from the ground and you have to rub your hands on the wall to use it. i won't be around to take a pic but i thought you should know! have a nice weekend
