Hey, things could be worse.
Several years ago, while on a motorcycle trip along the northern coast of Lake Superior in Ontario, I had to overnight in what cannot even be described as a "town." It was a gas station/cafe/motel, and that's it.
There was no phone, so I couldn't talk to my wife. There was at least a TV, but there was only one station. It was some sort of science channel, with shows about insects. And it was all in French. Not even subtitles.
