Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That Al Jazeera piece showed the coffee cart where I got my coffee this morning. Trippy.

Are coffee carts unique to NYC? Or do other citys have a fleet of silver boxes stuffed with coffee and pastries that appear in the pre-dawn hours and disappear by noon?

I told you Seanie, you say the word and I am on finessing you a ticket here like...something that's on something else a whole lot.

I really want to see more of Dallas than just the airport. Plus you and omnis.

In the 80s and 90s, Seattle had a lot of sidewalk espresso stands. I think they're mostly gone now, though.

The Western mountains are rugged and majestic and gorgeous and dumb. They don't know what's coming to them. Sure, you can get lost in the wilderness, but they have no subtlety.

The Eastern mountains are old and canny and keep their secrets. You can hide in the shadows of the winding hollows and ridges and listen to the millenia of living things that have hidden there too. They look easy, but they're just waiting for someone to get stupid.

I wouldn't say "fleets," but we have those here, too. They're actually most often found in the lobbies of other buildings. What we do have fleets of here on the streets of LA is jugos carts, stacked high with fresh fruits ready to be turned into fresh juice.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

We can take you to the wacky conspiracy museum! Maybe Victory park if there's something free going on down there. And I will get you high on dirty Mexican.

Miami-- especially downtown and in Little Havana/Hialeah. There are also trucks called loncheros that park outside factories or clusters of businesses and wait for workers to go on their breaks, and that serve full, prepackaged meals in foil containers.

Dammit. Now I want a pastelito.

It's their youth showing.

All of which sound like they are made of awesome.
