One fun thing about traveling all the time is renting different kinds of cars. This week we have a Jeep Liberty. I just don't get the SUV craze. I just re-read Malcolm Gladwell's article on SUVs. It's a must-read if you are considering buying a car. You should see the quotes from auto-industry engineers and marketers. Amazing that our government even allows these things on the road.
My Ford Focus handles better, is more comfortable, has a better stereo, costs less, gets better mileage, has more power, and has a quieter engine.

Unreal.
Underneath a German bus terminal, archaeologists have found the remains of a 2,000-year-old Roman roadside rest stop that included a chariot service station, gourmet restaurant and hotel with central heating.Is this stuff written in our genes?
...
Historians theorize that similar road stops were located approximately every 20 miles along the Roman Long Road, which linked the North Sea coastal region to the tip of southern Italy.
