Idiot of the Day XV

Posted on

Yep, that is someone’s shoe partially consumed by the Metro Center escalator.

Greening My Mother: Gettin Clean

Posted on

My mom’s been doing lots of things to improve her eco footprint, but there’s no shame in nagging her about more things she can do. Plus, most of the time it’s not me nagging her; I just need an excuse to talk about more things I’ve learned and what better way to do it than […]
