On You Mean Some People Don't Drive, What?

Zipcar is actually cheaper than JUST insuring my elderly car was when I finally got rid of it. Zipcar, Zipcar, yaaaaay Zipcar!

On Monday Check In: A Wedding Upstate

@Slutface Do you have any non-bf friends who might step in if this comes up again? Like, a "chili at his/her house on Friday and pizza at my house on Saturday" type of arrangement that would help both of you with budgeting and/or loneliness?

On 'Eggs on a Roll' Part II

New Yorker stuck in Boston here. Mike, as long as street carts are on your radar, wait till the weather is cooler and have a knish! With mustard, which the vendor will put INSIDE the knish, yummmm. Boston is having Chowderfest on Sunday, when the high temperature is forecast to be 91 degrees. Hot shellfish and dairy -- I want to puke just thinking about it.

On If Bus A and Bus B Both Suck, Which Bus Should You Take?

Amtrak serves St. Albans but takes ages and costs 1 Arm + 1 Leg. Still, very comfy.
