This is a bit of a rant, but what is it with no tea spoons at the kitchen? How am I supposed to stir the tea with these straw-like, thin plastic stir sticks? I'm not even going to comment on the taste of the water, which may or may not be inspired by the suspicious material of the disposable cup. Note to self: buy and bring to work a reusable, personal tea cup.
And another thing: how is it that in over 230 years of history the urban planners have found so few worthy street names that each town has basically the same streets only with a (sometimes) different layout? Must every street be an "avenue"? Must every avenue be "Broad" or "Main" or one of a select few options available street names? Not only can it be confusing as you go from town to town, but it makes you wonder why is so much of the rich and diverse history and culture of the US not represented in its immediate urban geography. Why no Jefferson or Whitman, Thoreau (there is an Emerson street nearby) or King? Maybe I just live in a dull area.
