Well put! :-) The sad thing is that the offerings are being tailored, in many places, to the (perceived) preferences of tourists. Many tourists are reluctant to try something unfamiliar, so these things disappear from the menu. The latest casualty I came across - only last weekend - was the demise of Cafe Landtmann's 'Landtmannkugeln', once one of their signature desserts. People recognise a cake or gateau, but a cocoa-covered ball seemingly was beyond most customers' food horizons. Gone for good, I am afraid - although we came across something quite similar yesterday in an old-fashioned cafe near the Slovakian border!

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

Are people getting more high maintenance or is it just me? One thing that you can't deny is that CERTAIN people require a lot more TLC and attention, on the daily and especially during trying times. This applies to both platonic relationships and romantic. We usually call these people high maintenance because, well, they usually require (or demand!) all of your efforts and then some to be satisfied. These characteristics are closely linked to their zodiac sign temperament, so read on to see who is on the list!

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

There is more that Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and his youngest daughter Phoebe have in common than meets the eye. They both have ties to Stanford University and, in the centibillionaire’s own words, “Phoebe and I both left college early, but she came away from Stanford with a degree.” They are both voracious readers, and now they have some “business” to discuss as well. No, the Reproductive Health Advocate hasn’t joined Microsoft, but as expected, she has paved her own path that has led her to business. Phoebe Gates is the co-founder of Phia, a forthcoming digital fashion platform.
