It's off by 3mm too much to the left side. I know I measured. I just got up from the bed and measured. I want a free month in Hawaii" counts. Shouldn't Econolodge do better? "Silly me for being in your lane when you swerved" counts. I know you can come up with some good stuff.

"This the only cashier they got?!"

Using his dead-like gravel only yard as an example I raised hell and he's no longer on the board
