My commute is either "walk up the stairs of my loft" or possibly "drive 15 miles/20 minutes to the airport and fly somewhere" :)
Gimme some milk.

I should check on the RWC regulations
Might be your mosquito control vector people. We used to use them as an example of places with regulatory control in ALR.
YIKES. Color me impressed.
Many of them are paid place-holders. Yet another example of what money can buy...

I don't know about optimum distances or regulations, but i have one like this [link] that hangs on the same apparatus as my feeders and I like it - easy to clean, holds enough water to last a couple of days, more or less. I also have a mister rigged up to refill it, which I think is supposed to disturb the water enough to keep mosquito larvae from growing.

The Oatmeal today has a great comic on tipping: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I totally agree with the Oatmeal (except for his opinion on Red Robin; I think it kicks all kinds of ass). I get all kinds of rageful when I'm out to eat with someone who tips really poorly.

Because books.
I used to be addicted to Red Robin nachos. We haven't had a Red Robin around in years, though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I've ever seen one in real life, but I already can't stop singing the ads.

I checked with Google Maps and my commute is 2.1 miles, and it would be 10 minutes faster for me to take the bus than to walk. So that's good to know.
I haven't looked at the Oatmeal, but Red Robin seems fine for the few times I've eaten there. They do have a catchy jingle.

I have never even heard of Red Robin, but I always tip well because even if the service isn't great! Of course, I didn't know the first time that I went to NYC that 20% is normal, because in Rochester 20% is a super great tip and 15% is normal.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am 16 or 17.5 miles to work depending on which highway I want to take. Takes about 30 minutes with a school drop-off. Takes about 50 minutes to get home.
Red Robin is on the short list of mac approved sit down restaurants, so I lurve them. Also, their onion strings are super duper yummy.
