Showers at Stansted Airport

I find this sign funny: They must be worried about people saving money by taking showers together.

No stuffed animals at Coachella

OK I get the other ones, but no stuffed animals allowed at the Coachella music festival? What is up with that?

Connect by Hertz and its fuzzy New York geography

I was checking out the Zipcar competition, in this case "Connect by Hertz".

I'd be a bit wary of their geography knowledge, though, if they think that East 65th Street (a land of high-end strollers and fancy apartments) is in Kyrgyzstan (check out http://www.connectbyhertz.com/locations.aspx)

[ Update - After a few days, they removed the Kyrgyzstani location from their site ]

Signed up for Zipcar....

I've finally signed up for Zipcar. I was worried that the fact that I have not driven under a US license for 3 years would make sign-up more difficult, but it didn't.

Good article this month in the New York Times on Zipcar, the company and the service.



I should get the card in a few days, and then I'll check out the service. In actual fact I rarely need a car except for business trips (which almost invariably I fly to anyway). But, it will be nice to have the option of driving somewhere, especially in the summer.
