“Let me live in a house by the side of the road, and be a friend to man.”

I think it’s just evoking the homey, hospitable idea.

> Actually I was just wondering the other day why billboards still advertise free internet right along with free continental breakfast! I stopped asking about free internet about two years ago, although I mostly stay at Super 8 or Comfort inns for business trips.

I’m guessing there’s some indie motels or backwards franchises, or bed and breakfast inns, that don’t offer free Internet access.
