Clearwater Shower

We're taking a long Memorial Day weekend. Last Friday, we stopped for gas at a Love's truck stop plaza. It's one of those places where they make the announcement, "Number 31, your shower is ready!" And then everybody looks around to see who's going to take a shower. Well, I've not taken a shower there, but I have used the restroom. The restroom at this particular Love's has the loudest, most upbeat restroom music I've ever heard. One time I was there they were playing Traveling Band by Credence Clearwater Revival. This time they were playing something by the Ramones. Hey, whatever. It didn't affect anything I had to do in there. I kinda got a kick out of it. 

I asked my wife what she thought of the Ramones in the restroom. She noted that no, there were no Ramones on her side and that they had enjoyed a serenade by Rod Stewart. I thought to myself, "Wow! Another barrier's been crossed. Different music in the men's and women's restrooms." Is this what 2025 will be known for?

I wanted to find that #31 guy and ask him what music they played in the showers but they wouldn't let me go back there without taking a number.
