The annual fuel economy report of Gerard Manley Hopkins.
The 48th Annual New England Month and 5K Fun Run has been extended for just one more week here at Paper View Monday headquarters, and this week’s newspaper building as seen in Bing Maps is the Quad-City Times of Davenport, Iowa. No, strictly speaking, the Quad Cities area is not part of New England. On the other hand, suck it. Mash your mouse on the picture below to map-fiddle.

If you follow me on Twitter you know that since Tuesday night I’ve been highly critical of a photo gallery that appears on numerous Tribune Company sites. The gallery contains photos of poorly parked cars found on and downloaded from Flickr, and, when available, captions written by the original Flickr users. (Did you catch the part where I said the gallery features pictures of poorly parked cars? That’s right, poorly parked cars.)

How is it possible the rat control the cook? How, I ask you? My fellow Americans, if you’ve never heard of Adam and Joe, it is time for you to give them a go. Go on, give them a go. I SAID GIVE THEM A GO!
The 48th Annual New England Month and 5K Fun Run has been extended for just one more week here at Paper View Monday headquarters, and this week’s newspaper building as seen in Bing Maps is The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
