How to Fight
I landed in Los Angeles at 11:30 PM, and it took me another hour to get
to my hotel. The city was booked, and I was lucky to get a reservation
where I did. When I checked in, the clerk insisted on making a
photocopy of my driver’s license. I tried fighting, but it was no
use. I needed the hotel room. There was nowhere else I could go. The
night clerk didn’t really care if he rented the room to me or not. He
had rules to follow, and he was going to follow them.
