Best Way To File A Complaint?

By , June 28th, 2006

I purchased a stick of Mennen Speed Stick deodorant the other day and after using it a few days began to get a rash under my arms. This was a bit surprising to me since I have used their products for years and have never had this problem with any of their other scents. I [...]

Walking In The Suburbs Is Dangerous

By , June 28th, 2006

I mentioned the other day that people don’t walk in the suburbs. I learned today that there is a very good reason for this. If you walk in the suburbs, you’re likely to get killed. I seriously was almost hit by two cars today not because they couldn’t see me, but because they didn’t even [...]

Saving The Earth In A Hummer

By , June 24th, 2006

I went to the movies for the first time I have in years. If you think ticket prices in the US are expensive, they are better than the prices in Japan which are about $18 a piece (although they are catching up quickly). That $18, however, doesn’t guarantee you a seat – if the show [...]

It’s been over 100 degrees here the past couple of days and in an effort to reduce the amount of smog in the air, they had a Spare The Air day today. This meant that a lot of the public transportation systems in the San Francisco Bay Area were free today…which meant of course that [...]
