yesterday...  too small/seat was uncomfortable, and the 4cyl was rather

As a Pittsburgh Steelers fan for many years, I've been following the
Ben Roethlisberger story with some interest, and it concerns me that
the vast majority of comments both from the media and from the general
public (at least as read in the "letters to the editor" section of USA

Someone recently mentioned another online mapping service, Mapper.Acme.Com.
I took a look at it and found that it was similar to Maps.Google.Com with

time next year. I have a basic question. Why are the two lane roads

I really feel sorry for people living in the Goltea - Carpinteria
corridor (the Santa Barbara, CA metropolitan area). Traffic on the 101
blows dead bears - even at 10:00 PM on a Sunday night! We were stuck
in 5 MPH stop-and-go traffic for almost an hour, from somewhere

We are prepping all the new Lexus for Newport Lexus, scheduled to begin
sales next Wednesday/Thursday.  Needless to say we've been pretty busy.  All
cars are delivered to Tustin Lexus and we have to pick them up individually
and take them to our place in Newport, then return to ...

I'm planning two upcoming road trips from the Midwest to Seattle, WA.
I'll be moving out there soon and am looking forward to two more
cross-country jaunts.  So far, cross-country jaunts have included NE,

What's a New York Interstate shield doing in California?  It almost doesn't
make sense.  For me though, it just plain kicks @$s!

Around my neighborhood (Kirkland, WA), the city has been putting in
those little sidewalk 'bump-outs' at pedestrian crossings. I guess the
idea is to give pedestrians a shorter distance to cross from curb to
curb. But then they do something I consider to be pretty stupid. They
