80s Mustang Dec 4, 2008
I'm not a car person, but I've always felt that Ford Mustangs from the 1980s are like the ugly cousin of the Mustang family.  What Wikipedia calls third-generation Mustangs have big-nose-like front ends and abrupt, angular rear windshields.  For a classic muscle car, they're far from looking aerodynamic or even remotely attractive.

That's the 80s one on the left, followed by the 1994-2004 version and the 2005-now version. #travel
Computerized ordering (1) Dec 4, 2008
I can't even begin to describe my love for computerized ordering systems at eateries in places like Wawa and Quick Chek.  Not having to talk to a person; pressing buttons that correspond to what I want; getting exactly what I want with a printed record of exactly what I ordered.  I don't understand why these things aren't in restaurants. #food
Veolia infection Dec 4, 2008
Veolia is a company that manages drinking water testing and wastewater treatment.  But every time I see the company's name on a van or a building, I can't help but think it's some sort of disease or infection, as in "Susie has a bad case of Veolia."  I get the same feeling from the word caucus. #language
