Vespa My Love (Not)
Pet Peeve of the Day: Scooters. The high price of gas is evidently bringing them out in droves. Suddenly these two-wheeled motorized motorcycle-lite vehicle menaces are everywhere. There’s even one taking up a space everyday in the parking garage at work. I guess everyone was just waiting for the warm weather [...]

I’m addicted to this (relatively) mild jalapeno pepper sauce and put it [...]
