This season is in full swing. My heart is still racing after last week’s drug induced episode. I’ve been in the habit of watching the new episode twice in a row, but I just couldn’t last week.

But rather than just fly to Colorado, we chose to fly to San Francisco for a New Year’s Eve party first, then drive more than a third of the way across the country to ski.
The New Year’s party was an absolute shit-show. Actually, more of a puke-show. Continue reading
NBC news reported on a study by CNW Marketing that found that the amount of car-free American households has doubled in the last two decades, meaning that nearly 10% of American households do not have a car.
There are several reasons that the number of car-free households are increasing, from the recession making it difficult for those who wish to own a car to do so, to environmentalism, to technology making shared or public transit more accessible.
