Wouldn't it be cool if there was a Critical, Massachusetts? You could call it Critical, Mass. for short.
Did you know that there is a Hell, MI? It's where Hell really does freeze-over.

If ever in the Weir's
If ever in the Weir's Beach area of New Hampshire (it's somewhere near Laconia), Kellerhaus is a neat place to visit. Along with the cool souvenirs, there's homemade candies, and an ice cream smorgasbord.
On I-81 N, just inside
On I-81 N, just inside the New York state border, there is a rest area. This rest area is particularly interesting to me because it has a popsicle vending machine. You insert your money, press the buttons for the popsicle you want, and then watch what happens. A cooler inside the vending machine opens, a vacuum hose shoots down into the slot for the popsicle you chose, sucks it up, manuevers it over the pick-up slot, and drops the popsicle. I don't think I have ever seen something so neat in a vending machine.
The popsicle wasn't that great, though. It tasted like it had been melted and refrozen a couple of times. Oh well, it was a welcome change from traditional vending machine food.
Random
Some random notes / thoughts from the past week:
- Wilbraham, MA is the home of Friendly's.
- The speed limit in the Gunstock Area is 27 mph.
- There is a Belchertown, MA.
- I realized for the first time that the slogan for New York--
The Empire State
--is related to the Empire State Building. However, much like the chicken and the egg, I'm not sure which came first.
Concept Cars
I've been looking at Concept Cars a lot recently, so I thought I'd post some of the links I've found:
