NJ Lawlessness, #1

A fine example of the culture of lawlessness that pervades this delightful little town. The menu clearly shows that they will deliver until 2 am on Fri & Sat nights, but when I called at 1 am they were already closed! Whodoigotta call togedda pizza?

Big Ol' Feet

I appreciate that Merlin wants to be near me, but today was a bit much. He usually sits inconveniently close to the keyboard, but today he put his big cat feet all in my way. I typed over him, under him, used him as a wrist rest, and yet he wouldn't budge.

I Recommend: Design Public.

Shop at DesignPublic.com because they have the best customer service on the internet!  When I wanted an item that they don't offer on their website (nor could I find it on any other US website), they called the manufacturer and sold me what I needed! And every customer service rep who's contacted me has been personable and happy to help. And I spent $112 less on a fatboy bag than I would have if I ordered it from Target. Excellent service, great prices, cool products--if only they sold every item I'll ever need! But wait, maybe they will if I just ask!!!!


UPDATE: While I think their customer service is still good, my rave review was premature. Although they talked a good game, they never did send me the special product that they promised. So not exactly the best service on the internet. Although they did send me their regular product quickly at a good price.

Aaurgh.

I was on my way to an appointment when I sat through not one rotation of the turn light at Hydraulic Rd but THREE! And then it dawned on me; it was the afternoon before Thanksgiving. What was I thinking?!?!

Black Cat

Merlin is one cool cat.

The Infinite

I glanced up just before entering the station and saw the top of these buildings illuminated, the fog creating a beautiful illusion of the infinite.

November Sky

The low gray November sky belies the warmth of the day, a day when Christmas lights incongruously shine beneath a canopy of fall's unfallen yellow leaves.
