Lonely Car? A Parking Lot Phenomenon

La de Boheme @LaDeBoheme (2004) • United States 13 Nov 15

When parking at a store, I always go for left field in the parking lot -- where no one else is parking or there are very few other vehicles. The few extra steps are not going to hurt me, in fact, they are quite beneficial. I also...

Not THAT Bowl Game, But... Puppy Bowl!

La de Boheme @LaDeBoheme (2004) • United States 3 Feb 13

I am sure most of America watched THE game... or the commercials anyway, but this isn't about the Ravens or the 49ers. Who watched Puppy Bowl IX? Marta was named MVP (Most Valuable Puppy). She played her heart out. She didn't...
