Some days, I really wish people would acknowlege that I solved their problem. Even if it was due to them being a dingbat. Just a simple "Yep, that worked" would be nice.

That's a totally valid desire. The Other People are being twerpy, not you.

ETA: I forgot how much I like the word "twerp"

Ain't nothing wrong with validation.

Yes, I have not only favorite staircases, but favorite positions in my main commuting stations for maximizing the efficiency of my commute.

Hell yeah. I hate when I end up in the wrong car.

Sara, can you contact them under the guise of "so I can close out the case"? I admit I perform that follow up every now and again, especially when we were approached for something that wasn't our issue.

California folks are wimps.

To promote the season one DVD release of the HBO series, Six Feet Under, Charlotte agency BOONE/OAKLEY created a bus wrap which, in July, transformed transit buses into the green hearse the character Claire drive on the show. San Francisco and Los Angeles transit authorities rejected the ad for public transit claiming it could, somehow, hurt ridership. The ad was allowed, however, on private, no passenger buses. New York and Chicago accepted the ad.

I've seen the hearse!busses - they look cool: [link]

I could (and I often do) but in this case, I'm just closing it out and whining.

California folks are wimps.

uh-oh.

Cass -- stirrup leather. . . probably what you mean.

Heather -- Oz is such a cutie!!

And we get the NY Snapple ads here too.

Fuel cell motorcycle to be sold in the US: [link]

It looks like something BatBoy would ride....

The motorcycle has a top speed of 50 miles an hour (80 kilometers an hour) and can run for 100 miles (160 kilometers) or up to four hours on a tank of compressed hydrogen. A fill-up costs about four dollars (U.S.).

ENV makes no more noise than a home computer and emits only heat and water.

Users have compared riding the nearly silent motorbike to skiing, sailing, surfing, and glider flying.

"If you go for a ride in the countryside, as you ride through it, you can smell the countryside, hear the birds singing, and you are not disturbing nature," Eggleston said. "Birds will not fly out of the way because they are terrified of the noise."

'Course, then you gotta worry about getting smacked in the face by birds....

I forget how I morph into a nap-deprived 3 year old when I don't feel well. It'd be funny if..well, I felt better.

I would like a genie, or possibly a fairy godmother, to show up, tap me on the head, and tell me what to do with my life. Can that be arranged?
