I've traveled with my cats a few times while making some cross country moves.

Smells have an uncanny way of transporting me back to some far-away place, often without my even realizing what's happening.

I'm psyched. As soon as I set this puppy to post, I'm heading to Cleveland to go to the Cleveland International Film Festival where I'll meet up with Brook Silva-Braga for the showing of his film A Day in Africa. There's also a load of stuff going on to commemorate the ...See the best of Ireland - on an electric bike
This sounds like a cool way to see Ireland - on an electric bike, pulling your own camper tent. The bike has a top speed of 15.5mph, and a range of 40 miles, though the site does not make it clear what the range is when you pull the trailer with you.
