God damn it. Too many of my comrades fuck this up and I'm tired of seeing it printed on menus incorrectly. Time for a vacation, I know...

I'll start by saying that normally, my coworker and I work well together. We work in a small cocktail bar that has everything you need for the classics. I moved to a small town outside of Tacoma last year and I'm still getting a feel for what people expect in the region. There have been a number of instances where I've been told by my coworker something to the effect that 'people around here like it this way.' Off the top of my head, nobody EVER wants vermouth in their martini and you ALWAYS garnish with an olive (NBD, I ask a few questions when someone orders a martini anyway), Aviations should be purple as all hell (much more than the 1/4 oz of violette I would put in a standard Aviation),

Is there a way to open the non-service hours of the current bus and TRAX systems to the private sector so that they can operate their own vehicles and share the cost of the infrastructure? Why haven't there been competing bus lines? Why does the entirety of Salt Lake City's public transit rest in one private company's interest?

It's obvious to me that UTA is all about crunching numbers and stretching pennies, but not so much interested in improving service downtown. Do we really have to put up with this monopoly and suffer? Anyone with a relevant expertise to explain this to me?

My friend and I have been sledding together every year for eight or nine years, now. I recently moved close to a park with a small hill on it, big enough to sled down. It's a popular spot, lots of kids, lots of teens, grown ass adults with a strangle-hold on their youth (that's us). I brought my trusty steed, Green Lightning, a $10 toboggan from Walmart. Fits two children comfortably, but not adults.

We were having fun and had done a few runs. We decided to switch sleds (I accepted out of pity, we both knew full well that I had the better sled). I pushed my friend so she'd go faster than she thought (lol so funny). She lost control of the sled and plowed into this ~15 year old kid in

Saw this awesome chair at Nordstrom's and I haven't had any luck finding it online, so I've decided to make one from scratch that's ~the same dimensions out of steel and leather. The leather strips aren't a mystery to me. I just need to borrow a sewing machine and buy a good scrap of 'leather' from a supplier (Silver State Inc. comes to mind).
