I'm out of town for work and staying in a hotel. I've been staying in room 258 for 7 days and just realized the significance of the room number.  ::)

lol, right on  :occasion14:
best room in the place!
Lurker & unintentional thread killer.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called Cynicism by those who have not got it.
I am not now at my least, rather my most; not reduced, rather at my most complete.
Yes, I stand before you now, naked, unhidden, uncamouflaged and unafraid.
As pure and true as a human being is able to be.

Beware the oil slick in the tub! ;)
AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

This number comes up very frequently in my life. Receipts, SKUs, store #s, poor paychecks, etc. The worst is the association with numbers like 232, 242, 256, 262, 286, 304, 401 and so on. :amc:
