<p>Yes. it&#8217;s the ultimate in irony. A parking lot letting you know they &#8220;care&#8221;. How great is this? Makes your soul cringe, doesn&#8217;t it? As long as you remove all belongings and do not hold the lot owner responsible for anything that might happen to your car, including, but not limited to, lightning strikes and hobos pissing on it. Care = Visa / MC.</p>

<p>Yes friends, say hello to cat scratch. Carpat style. Being intimately familiar with the Carpathian mountains I have to say, my curiosity was peaked. Why do cats like to scratch &#8220;Carpat style&#8221;? Is there more that meets the eye in the random scraggly Carpathian mountain feral cat? I honestly don&#8217;t know. What I do know is that it makes less waste. And that is all that matters.</p>

<p>This is one of 2 Hungarian walking men I came across. I admire him for his debonair air and his mid-section, no doubt softened by too much sour cream enhanced goulash. What gets me though, is the hat. When letting people know that this is a safe area to get your carcass across the road, do you really need to start wondering: Do I have / need a hat to be here??? Come on Hungary. Ditch the hat.</p>
