When the astronauts flew in to Cape Canaveral on duty assignments, which was constantly, austere bachelor quarters were provided in NASA buildings, but they preferred the livelier scene at Cocoa Beach, twenty miles to the south, and if they brought their wives along, which they often did, it became the custom for them to take rooms at a new and glossy motel called the Bali Hai, a name borrowed by many joints across the country from a popular song that was supposed to be tropical and sexy.

I ran late to Bali Hai for lunch today because, although I had left with adequate time to drop my flat tire off at my mechanic's, I had not planned for the mechanic to have enough time to offer to fix it while I waited.
