Tangier Island: diving into 19th century
Tangier Island may give you a much better feel of the old times than all the re-enactments you can get in Philadelphia. We went in only for a couple of hours but wish we went for a day/overnight: there's so much to do! -
how to find wifi in the boonies
here are a few conclusions:- there are unlisted coffee shops. if you see a town, there must be a coffee shop. example: princess anne, somerset county, MD, has petite fleur, which was listed as a gift shop. ask locals.

спросили про что есть удобная обувь
мне кажется, что после шлепанцев, вот самая удобная в мире обувь. не жмет, не требует разнашивания, 1 слой мягкой кожи без синтетики - ноги не потеют почти. один недостаток - промокаемые. я такое ношу с 2008 года и до сих пор радуюсь.

2013 Buick Encore, month 4: review
This is a follow up to http://gluzd.livejournal.com/101816.html

In search for a perfect urban vehicle, Part IV: Ford Focus (Sedan) and Kia Soul
I got a 2012 Ford Focus sedan as a 1-day rental meaning to exchange for something shorter. The impressive part was it felt like a German car, a bit similar to an old VW Passat I drove a few months ago. Another nice surprise: unlike in Fiesta, USB port was able to charge iPhone 5.
