Thats kind of amusing, because when I moved from Pennsylvania to Utah, I was freaked out by having to drive more than 10 miles to get somewhere. The town 25 miles away was a Saturday excursion, and a trip to Pittsburgh, 50 miles away, was something you planned a week in advance. Now a trip to Salt Lake City, also 50 miles away, is something we'll think of doing in the evening.
In PA, there are roads with nothing on them! Like, you can drive for ten miles and see maybe two buildings. That doesn't happen in NJ where I grew up, unless you're on the Turnpike.
Stealing from a Toys for Tots donation box????
That makes a nice partner for a story I read last week about how theft of ponies goes up in the Christmas season.
Or, I mean, of course they can do whatever they want with their lives, but I am sure they will look like supermodels.
Zoe Kravitz is gorgeous.

PayPal vs. Regretsy Christmas toys for poor kids. [link] I think this is the most ::headdesk:: bit:
PAYPAL: Only a nonprofit can use the Donate button.
ME: That’s false. It says right in the PDF of instructions for the Donate button that it can be used for “worthy causes.”
PAYPAL: I haven’t seen that PDF. And what you’re doing is not a worthy cause, it’s charity.
ME: What’s the difference?
PAYPAL: You can use the donate button to raise money for a sick cat, but not poor people.
Also, at one point, the PayPal representative insisted that no reputable website will ever let you buy something and have it sent to someone other than the buyer.
Yeah, because nobody has ever sent somebody a gift from, for example, Amazon.
PayPal vs. Regretsy Christmas toys for poor kids.
I imagine when the internet shitstorm gets too large, PayPal will suddenly have a different interpretation of their rules AND will kick in some dough to the fund for human children who otherwise don't get Christmas.
I just can't decide if it will be tomorrow, or end of the week.
There is a main drag that goes through Berkeley. While I was in high school it was renamed to Martin Luther King Jr Way. But we all referred to it as the original Grove street. To the point where the city posted signs above the street signs that siad "Old Grove St". I wonder if those are still up. It has been over 25 years and I know people who still call it Grove.
Is there still an Old York Road and a New York Road in Maryland?
I can't recall if they both went to York, PA or if one went to York, PA and the other went to New York.
Nothing's going to beat lower Manhattan where one street intersects itself.
I think National might do that, but there's a memory wipe and a transdimensional jump also involved. It just...feels really familiar.
