Dear Rebecca,

 

Well, in the first place, why you buy a car with such shitty gas mileage?

 

Moreover, what's left unsaid is......   

1.  Did you leave the Caddy unlocked?

 

2.  Did you leave the keys inside?

  

Think fuel efficiency. 

 

Best,

The poop is hitting the fan in a neighborhood feud in Maspeth, Queens.  

 A home in the area has been singled out as the most-reported address for 311 complaints about dog poop, according to a recent study from real-estate listings site RentHop.com. 

So far in 2019, the single-family residence at 64-69 59th Ave. has been reported no fewer than 50 times — up from 36 phone calls in 2018.

But its owner pooh-poohs what she describes as “false, ­unfounded” findings.

At least she's still receiving all those important calls!

The National Interest, 3/20/2020

As smartphone use continues to surge, landline phones are indeed becoming an afterthought. Just in 2004, over 90 percent of households in the U.S. had an operational landline phone, according to data provided by the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention. Today, that figure has plummeted drastically to about 40 percent. 

In another recent study, only 6.5 percent of U.S. households had a landline only, while 3.2 percent somehow have remained untethered to any type of phone. And over half of U.S. households utilized only wireless service.
