in response to more signs

Peter: sticker/label recycling is common... lots of people use USPS/postal labels and "hello, my name is:" stickers, but after those got common and somewhat cliche, people started using seemingly the most random stickers they could find, you know, to be different.

in response to Newark Morning

elaine: thank you for clearing that up - with illustrations, no less!

in response to Newark Morning

Peter: totally. i thought the same thing when i saw em. theyll probably turn yellow soon, after sitting in the sun. or cracking and breaking would be a more likely fate, what with the harsh winters and such here. ill keep you posted...

in response to Newark Morning

Peter: a bodega is a hispanic grocery... more like a mini-mart. usually open all night, with an atm out front. they sell sandwiches, beer/beverages, a limnited amount of groceries, lots of snacks, smokes, cleaning supplies, etc... theyre not necessarily hispanic, though... its just a catch-all name for corner stores that's sort...

Peter: two in two days... damn dude, be careful! heh. i used to live in a place like that... always having to call the cops due to whatever weirdness was going on outside.

in response to 911 call #2

Peter: heh! this is classic!
