Urban Life
Worst. Scent. Ever!
I, too, enjoy a lovely autumn day in Manhattan. But wanting to smell like NYC? Not a good idea!
Still, if you must, purchase yours here.

Instant Parking Space
Here's one way to guarantee you'll always be able to park -- just take a sign and a prize bin.Even the security guard is relatively calm about the whole thing!!

Parking Chairs
I live by the code of the parking chair. Someone (the writer didn't even know that the magnificent parking chair had a name, let alone all that it stands for) fired off a letter to my local paper today vilifying the practice, and it had me outraged. I've since submitted a rebuttal. In the course of research for the letter, I found the following recent story from The Morning Call in Allentown, PA detailing what can happen when you don't respect the parking chair. The police may have assured the man he did nothing wrong by moving the chair, but I bet he doesn't do it again. And if you believe in the chair like I do, you can always show it!

Mill Ends Park
In the middle of Portland, Oregon there is a small oasis of weirdness called Mill Ends Park. According to Wikipedia, Mill Ends Park:I've never been to Portland, but if I ever make it up there, I'll make a point to visit this park.

Should You Serve White or Red Wine With Discarded Pizza Crust and Apple Cores?
Bumwine.com can help you with that decision. All you need to know about Oenology is if you and your party will be drinking for taste, warmth or simply to forget.
